A Long Term Care Consultation (LTCC) is provided at no charge in the home of elders and people with disabilities. Anyone can request this assessment through the Leech Lake Band rather than going through their county social service office. The results are used to determine eligibility for services provided to help people stay in their own homes and in their own communities. There are 5 different waivers available (listed below).
A case manager helps people get the services they need and provides regular follow-up. Examples of services that may be provided are homemaker, chore services, personal care assistance, some home modifications, home-delivered meals, LifeCall emergency response systems, home health aide, and nurse visits.
