Four-hour minimum per visit.
No additional fees. No surprises.

Fair wages attract and retain high-quality caregivers
Transparent, equitable access to support
Values-based business model, no “charging more because someone needs more”

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do you charge extra for weekends, evenings, or holidays?
No. Our rate stays the same, because life happens outside business hours.

Q: Are there sign-up, onboarding, or administrative fees?
No. We don’t believe in paywalls to access support.

Q: Can clients receive both waiver-funded hours and private pay hours?
Yes - as long as private-pay hours are separate and not covered by Medical Assistance.

Q: Do you require long-term contracts?
No. Services can be paused or discontinued at any time with notice.

Q: Is mileage included?
Mileage while transporting the person served may be billed separately at $1.25/mile.

Q: Are caregivers background checked and trained?
Yes - all staff meet Minnesota DHS requirements before providing services.

Q: Do you help families explore waiver eligibility?
Yes. We’re happy to guide you through available options.

Q: Do you offer a sliding scale or reduced rates?

In limited situations, we may offer a sliding scale rate for qualifying clients. Sliding scale availability depends on current capacity and is reviewed periodically to ensure the sustainability of care for both clients and caregivers.

If cost is a concern, we encourage you to reach out so we can discuss options and determine whether we may be a good fit.

Your family deserves clarity, respect, and choice — including in pricing.
