For the past eight months, we have been working closely with the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) to review Medicaid-funded programs in all of Minnesota's counties and health plans. There are six Home and Community Based Services programs in each county, and they allow individuals with long-term needs to be served in their homes or other residential setting rather than a nursing home.

Reports from eight of our reviews to-date are available on-line, along with a short description of the review process and of each instrument we use.
