Personalized Care Means Costs Can Vary
We do not publish exact pricing because each resident's situation and care needs are different.
For private-pay residents, costs include a monthly base rent, with additional care costs based on the individual's needs.
The best way to understand the current cost for your loved one is to speak directly with our team.
Several Payment Options May Be Available
Elderwood also accepts CADI, Housing Support, Elderly Waiver, and long-term care insurance. Elderly Waiver and CADI eligibility and costs depend on income, assets, availability, and the appropriate MNChoices assessment.
Because eligibility and costs can vary, families should discuss their individual situation with the appropriate county or state resources as well as the Elderwood team.
Important:
Elderwood can help families understand the process, but eligibility for state-funded programs is determined according to the applicable program requirements.
