How Do the Costs of Day Services Compare with Home Care and Nursing Homes in Minnesota?
Daily fees average $50–72, depending on location and services included. The maximum payments from Minnesota’s Alternative Care Grant and Elderly Waiver programs are limited and subject to the pressure of state budgeting for health and human services. By contrast, a 2006 MetLife study lists the average daily nursing home rate for a private room is $199 in Minneapolis/St. Paul and $155 in Rochester.
