Populations We Serve

In addition to serving some Private Payer Seniors, Empowerment serves Minnesotans with disabilities or chronic illnesses who need certain levels of care and qualify for the state's home and community-based waiver programs.

In addition to some Private Payer Seniors, we serve people who meet the eligibility criteria for the following Home and community-based waiver programs:

• Brain Injury (BI) Waiver: for people with acquired or traumatic brain injuries who need the level of care provided in a nursing facility that provides specialized (cognitive and behavioral supports) services for people with brain injury or neurobehavioral hospital level of care.
• Community Access for Disability Inclusion (CADI) Waiver: for people with disabilities who require the level of care provided in a nursing facility.
• Elderly Waiver (EW): for people over the age of 65 years who require the level of care provided in a nursing facility.
