Hennepin County Human Services — Long-Term Services and Supports

In Hennepin County, the entry point for long-term support is not a recreation centre: it is the Human Services team that provides information and assesses needs for older adults and people with disabilities. Initial consultation is available by phone at 612-348-4111 on weekdays; the county advises callers to check before travelling because some assessments require scheduling and personal information. The department’s administrative address is the Government Center, 300 S. 6th Street, Minneapolis.

Staff can explain home- and community-based services, possible funding sources, and the long-term-care assessment process. Functional needs, income, assets, and health coverage help determine which programmes may apply; an information call is not an approval for Medical Assistance or a waiver. The county also offers free information sessions and ways to ask general questions without immediately supplying all the personal details needed for a formal assessment.

Hennepin County also lists Human Services centres in Minneapolis, including North Minneapolis at 1001 Plymouth Avenue North, Central-Northeast at 525 Portland Avenue South, and South Minneapolis at 2215 East Lake Street. These are service points, but not every care-related process is handled at every location. Before visiting, confirm whether walk-in help is available, which forms to bring, and whether parking is offered at that specific site. A clear description of daily challenges—bathing, meals, mobility, or supervision—helps staff direct the call.
