Care options in Eagan

Questions families ask

How much can a healthy spouse keep if their partner needs Medicaid-covered nursing home care in Minnesota?

Under Minnesota's Community Spouse Asset Allowance (Minn. Stat. 256B.059), a non-applicant spouse can generally protect between $32,532 and $162,660 in assets (2026 federal figures), plus a Minimum Monthly Maintenance Needs Allowance of income ranging from about $2,705 to $4,066.50 per month, depending on their own income and housing costs.

What is Minnesota's Medical Assistance Estate Recovery Program, and can the state take my parent's house?

Minnesota's Estate Recovery Program (MERP), under Minn. Stat. 256B.15, lets the state file a claim after a Medical Assistance recipient's death (and, if married, generally after the surviving spouse's death too) to recover what MA paid for long-term services and supports. Minnesota's program can reach beyond the probate estate to jointly held property, life estates, transfer-on-death deeds, and revocable trusts, so common probate-avoidance planning doesn't automatically shield a home.

What is Minnesota Senior Health Options (MSHO) and who qualifies?

MSHO is Minnesota's voluntary integrated managed-care program for people 65+ who are enrolled in both Medical Assistance and Medicare Parts A & B — it combines Medicaid, Medicare, and Part D benefits into one coordinated plan with a single care coordinator. Plan availability varies by county and by year, so families should confirm which MSHO health plans currently serve their specific Twin Cities county.
