With Community First Services and Supports, you direct your own care — you help choose your support worker and set the schedule. Saylac handles the hiring, training, and payroll, so support fits your life. Not the other way around.
The CFSS agency model, in one picture.
Community First Services and Supports is Minnesota's program for people who want a say in their own care. Here's exactly how the partnership works under the agency model:
You stay in charge of your own care — always.
All the employment work disappears from your plate.
Trained support workers help people live and work in their own communities — at home and beyond.
Hands-on help with the essentials — bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility and transfers, toileting, and meals — done with dignity and patience.
Support with health-related tasks and routines that keep you well at home — carried out carefully, the way your plan describes.
Attentive observation and monitoring for safety and wellbeing — a steady, watchful presence families can rely on.
Answer four quick questions — based on Minnesota's actual CFSS eligibility rules — and see where you stand.
Do you live in the community — not a facility like a nursing home?
Can you direct your own care — or do you have someone who can direct it for you?A family member or trusted person can act as your representative.
Are you enrolled in a Minnesota health care program?Medical Assistance, an HCBS waiver, Alternative Care — or some MinnesotaCare.
Have you had a CFSS assessment — or are you open to getting one?An assessment of needs is how the state confirms eligibility.
This is a guide, not a decision — final CFSS eligibility is determined through the state assessment process. Unsure about anything? Call us at (612) 799-1597 and we'll walk through it together.
Saylac accepts Medical Assistance and all six major Minnesota waivers.
Fill out our online intake below (about 5 minutes), or call and we'll complete it with you.
The state confirms eligibility through an assessment. We help you connect with the right office and stay by your side.
Bring someone you trust for us to hire — or we'll recruit and match a great fit. Your call.
Your worker starts on your schedule. We handle employment, training, and payroll behind the scenes.
A note on step 2: if you're on a waiver, Alternative Care, or straight Medical Assistance, you'll work with your county or tribal nation; seniors enrolled in a health plan contact their health plan's member services. Not sure which applies to you? That's exactly what we're here for.
No printouts. No fax machines. Complete your full intake online in about five minutes, or leave your number and we'll call you.
