Oak Terrace Assisted Living

Oak Terrace Assisted Living is a homecare agency serving North Mankato, Minnesota and surrounding areas. Homecare agencies provide non-medical personal care services that allow individuals to remain safely in their homes while receiving assistance with daily activities.

Services provided by homecare agencies typically include personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming), companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and respite care for family caregivers.

In Minnesota, homecare agencies are typically regulated by the Minnesota Department of Health and generally must maintain a Comprehensive Home Care License or Basic Home Care License. Minnesota requires home care licensure. Basic license is for non-medical services.

Payment Options: In Minnesota, Medicaid may help pay for homecare services through programs like Elderly Waiver (EW), Alternative Care Program. These Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers help eligible individuals receive care at home instead of in an institutional setting. Contact Minnesota Department of Human Services or visit https://mn.gov/dhs/people-we-serve/seniors/services/ to learn about eligibility and how to apply.

When selecting a homecare agency, consider factors such as caregiver screening procedures, training requirements, supervision practices, and the agency's responsiveness to client needs and concerns. Visit Minnesota Department of Health for more information about homecare services in Minnesota.
