Paying for Assisted Living in Rochester
Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Rochester
Minnesota seniors in need of financial aid for assisted living costs may be covered through Medical Assistance (MA), the state’s Medicaid option.

Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Minnesota page.

- Veterans Benefits
- Life Insurance Policy
- Long-Term Care Insurance
- Reverse Mortgage
For more information about different ways to finance assisted living, visit our Assisted Living in Minnesota page.

Free Assisted Living Resources in Rochester
There are free resources in Rochester to help seniors transition into assisted living and to make sure they have the health care, financial assistance, and legal assistance they need during their stay. Below are some of the popular resources in and around the city.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Southeastern Minnesota Agency on Aging | (507) 288-6944 | The SEMAA serves 13 counties in the southeast part of the state and provides services for older residents to help them retain their independence and gain access to different programs for health and wellness and financial assistance. Representatives of this agency can connect seniors to the right agencies for finding long-term care, paying for assisted living and obtaining health care or resources for caregivers and families. |
| Minnesota Long Term Care Ombudsman Services | (651) 431-2600 | Long-term care ombudsmen are advocates for residents of long-term care communities, including assisted living. They can help families find the right facility for themselves or a loved one by giving unbiased assessments and investigating complaints made by residents, alerting the right oversight body if needed. People who need help applying to live in an assisted living home or who need a hand through the transition process may also get help. |
| Lutheran Social Services of Minnesota | (888) 806-6944 | LSS outreach workers can help older adults find long-term care and serve as court-appointed guardians for those unable to make decisions concerning their health care and finances. For older adults who still have the capacity to make these decisions, the LSS can serve as a resource for finding senior care and applying for health care and Social Security. |
