Background and Rationale
body
The Aging and Disability Services | MnCHOICES division (ADS-MnCHOICES) of the Social Services Department provides programs designed to support the elderly and people of any age with disabilities to live in the community as independently as possible. The ADS-MnCHOICES Division provides MnCHOICES assessments, which determine eligibility for services for people who need home and community-based services. The division also provides case management services for seniors and people with disabilities. Staff from this area will share more about the division and highlight an upcoming request to the board for 80 additional Full-Time Equivalents. This will address the current crisis and ensure that ADS-MnCHOICES staff can serve Ramsey County residents in a timely manner and in compliance with state statute.
