Cart to Cupboard accepts a variety of payment options. We accept cash and check payments. If you need help paying for a service, please ask us about the availability of services supported by Older American's Act (OAA) funding that are provided on a voluntary contribution or sliding fee basis.
All collected contributions are used to expand the service and to supplement funds received under the OAA.
If you are under the Elderly Waiver Program (described below), any contribution may be covered. Please contact Isanti County at 763-689-1711 if you have questions about this program.
The Elderly Waiver program funds home and community-based services for people age 65 and older who are eligible for Medical Assistance and require the level of medical care provided in a nursing home, but choose to reside in the community. The Minnesota Department of Human Resources operates the program under a federal waiver to Minnesota's Medicaid State Plan. Counties administer the program.
Covered services include visits by a skilled nurse, home health aide, homemaker, companion, personal care assistant, as well as home-delivered meals, adult day care, supplies and equipment, home modifications, and certified community residential Services.
For more information call Isanti County Family Services at 763-689-1711.
Alternative Care helps cover the costs of services for older Minnesotans, age 65 and older, who are at risk of nursing home placement and have low levels of income and assets.
