Individualized Home Supports with Family Training in Edina

Start with a community-living goal in the authorized plan. Examples to discuss include a meal-planning routine, organizing household tasks, or preparing for a community activity. Family training is not a blanket promise of clinical instruction, medication management, or transfer training.

Not every relative must attend. Adults must need support and training together with their family. Children may need it themselves or together with family. The person must live in the family's home and meet BI, CAC, CADI, or DD requirements. Confirm participants with the case manager.

An authorized community-living activity can take place in a public community setting. Living in the family's home remains an eligibility requirement. Agree on the location, access needs, and travel arrangements before planning a session.

Minnesota excludes this option for families, including extended family, licensed to provide adult or child foster care, family residential services, or community residential services. Ask the case manager about a suitable alternative.

No. Its main purpose is training, not a caregiver break or monitoring during primary sleeping hours. Describe any separate relief or overnight needs so your case manager can consider nonduplicative services.

There is no standard course length or automatic addition of care hours. Ask which sessions and other supports are authorized, what We Care can staff, and when goals will be reviewed. Family training does not by itself replace another needed service.
