Minnesota Home Care Complete Startup Package

This package is designed for a Minnesota Home Care License under Minnesota Statutes sections 144A.43 to 144A.482 for a provider offering assistive tasks within the license scope.

It is a provider licensed by MDH to furnish assistive tasks such as dressing, grooming, toileting, bathing, standby assistance, meal preparation, housekeeping, shopping, and other home care services allowed by Minnesota law.

This startup package focuses on non-medical personal care, including assistance with activities of daily living and related instrumental activities of daily living.

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), Health Regulation Division, licenses and surveys Home Care Providers under Minnesota Statutes sections 144A.43 to 144A.482.

Applicants complete MDH’s current Home Care application materials, submit the required ownership, managerial, policy, background-study, insurance, and business information, and pay the application fee.

Minnesota Statutes section 144A.472 currently lists a $2,100 initial license application fee. Regular licenses renew annually, with renewal fees based on home care revenue. Verify current amounts before filing.

MDH may issue a temporary Home Care License for up to one year. The provider must notify MDH within five days after beginning services. MDH then conducts the initial survey within 90 calendar days after it is notified or has evidence that clients are being served. The provider must demonstrate substantial compliance to receive the regular license.

MDH requires background-study compliance for owners, managerial officials, and applicable employees, volunteers, and contractors. The application materials also identify the named registered nurse or licensed health professional when applicable. Applicants should follow the current MDH and NETStudy instructions for each role.

Exact requirements depend on the applicant's ownership, personnel, services, location, and application details. Minnesota requirements generally include items such as:

• Agency details, including required hours of operation.
• Ownership, manager, and location information.
• Required documents and Minnesota-specific policies identified by the application.
• Applicable criminal-history and personnel-screening documentation.
• Required attestations and payment through MDH’s current licensing system.

Home Health Forms will provide guidance and support to accomplish these requirements.

The application requires the provider’s business address. The office must support administration, communication, and secure records and must satisfy applicable local zoning, lease, privacy, accessibility, and business requirements.

A proposed home-based office must still satisfy MDH operational and recordkeeping requirements plus local zoning, business-license, lease or homeowners-association, privacy, accessibility, and safety rules.

A Minnesota home care provider may provide services that help a client remain safely at home. These may include:

• Attendant care and assistance with activities of daily living.
• Housekeeping, shopping, laundry, meal planning and preparation, and cleaning.
• Companionship, fellowship, transportation, letter writing, mail reading, and escort services.
• Other home care within the lawful Minnesota scope and the client service plan.

Personnel must be screened, trained, competent, and supervised for assigned duties. Skilled nursing and therapeutic services require appropriate Home Health Agency authority and licensed professional personnel.
