Resource Coordination

Help Remaining or Returning Home

Every person has the right to live in the setting of their choice. The Senior LinkAge Line® helps older adults remain in their homes or return to their home after a stay at a nursing home or hospital. Resource Coordinators provide free in-depth support, connect them with services in their community and follow up to support long-term success. Support is also provided to involved family members and caregivers. Those that are eligible are:

  • 60 years or older
  • In their home or in a facility and wanting to return home
  • Not on Medical Assistance

How Does It Work?
A provider (nursing facility, hospital, clinic, etc.) can make a referral or a person can self-refer online at sllreferral.org.

Who Can Make a Referral?

  • Nursing facilities*
  • Hospitals
  • Assisted living providers
  • Clinics
  • Home care agencies
  • Hospice agencies
  • Ombudsman
  • Individuals/Caregivers

Once the Senior LinkAge Line® receives a referral*, the process usually involves:

  • Discussing the help that is available
  • Deciding if participating is right for a person
  • If so, working together to develop a comprehensive plan that will meet the person’s needs and preferences.
    – This includes exploring available resources, estimating costs and helping set-up services, such as:
    • Home health
    • Meal/grocery delivery
    • Transportation
    • Help around the house
    • Home modification or repair
    • Financial or legal assistance
    • Caregiver support
    • Medicare, and much more
  • Later, it includes follow-up by phone or in-person to support long-term success in the community.

*The Senior LinkAge Line also receives referrals from the Minnesota Board on Aging, based on a profile list of nursing facility residents.

For More Information
Call the Senior LinkAge Line® to learn more about how you or someone you know can get help.


CALL 800-333-2433
Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

* Nursing Facilities – The nursing facility must submit a referral to the Senior LinkAge Line® when they indicate on an MDS Section Q that the resident would like to talk to someone about returning to a community setting and the nursing facility is making the referral to the local contact agency. In MN, the local contact agency is the Senior LinkAge Line®. The Senior LinkAge Line® will then follow-up with the person and offer assistance or triage the referral to the lead agency when appropriate. Please be sure to bookmark the direct URL for the online referral website for easy access: www.sllreferral.org
