WBLAS Community Education & Recreation

Hosted by a Former Eligibility Specialist and Current Assisted Living Administrator

Join us for an informative session on Minnesota Medicaid and Elderly Waiver (EW) programs, designed to help individuals and families navigate the financial support options available for long-term care.

The Elderly Waiver (EW) program offers home and community-based services for older adults who require the level of care provided in a nursing home but prefer to live in the community—whether at home, in assisted living, or in a memory care setting.

What You’ll Learn:

• Overview of Medicaid and Elderly Waiver programs in Minnesota
• Eligibility criteria and how to qualify
• The asset reduction and spenddown process
• Special considerations for single individuals
• How a spouse can qualify while the other remains in the home
• Tips and best practices for completing the application process
• Open Q&A—bring your questions!

Whether you're planning for your own future or helping a loved one, this session will provide practical guidance and clarity.
