Minnesota Aging Pathways is a free service in Minnesota that connects older Minnesotans and their caregivers with the help they need. Assistance is provided over
the phone and via online chat on a regular basis.
Limited in-person support is available.
 
Minnesota Aging Pathways provides free help to older adults who may need support remaining in or returning to their home. Providers can submit a referral, or a person can
self-refer for help. When we receive a referral, we will work with the person and/or caregiver(s) to understand the person’s needs and preferences, help connect them with
services in their community, and follow-up to support long-term success.
 
Minnesota Aging Pathways has free information you can share with your clients, so they know who to call if they need support. We also offer interactive presentations to
professional staff and to the public.
 
Call Minnesota Aging Pathways 800-333-2433 to
schedule a presentation on:
 
  • Medicare
  • Fraud prevention
  • Money savings programs/services
  • Preadmission screening
  • Resource coordination services
  • How Minnesota Aging Pathways can help
 
In addition, Minnesota Aging & Disability Resources is available to everyone to find local resources. This is the same resource database the Minnesota Aging Pathways staff and volunteers use to find and connect services and supports to people across the State.

Your Neighborhood Nurse provides care management services that support older adults and the families who care for them. Your Neighborhood Nurse brings skilled, compassionate nursing oversight into your loved one’s home or assisted living community, keeping a close eye on their health, noticing early changes, and addressing concerns before they become bigger problems. They also help you understand the different care options available and how each one supports your loved one’s needs and wishes. With so much to navigate, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Because they see the whole picture—not just the medical pieces or the daily challenges—Your Neighborhood Nurse can guide you toward the right services at the right time, helping your loved one stay safe, supported, and as independent as possible.
