The Department of Human Services (DHS) licensed certain Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) provided to people with disabilities and those over age 65. Ayabi Home Care has applied for 245D Basic Services and will integrate these services once approved.

Beginning October 1, 2024, DHS will transition people who use Consumer Support Grant and personal care assistance (PCA) services to CFSS.

Community First Services and Supports (CFSS) is a Minnesota health care program that offers flexible options to meet the unique needs of people. CFSS allows people greater independence in their homes and communities. CFSS will replace personal care assistance (PCA) and the Consumer Support Grant (CSG).
