Home care nursing hardship criteria modified.
This bill modifies Minnesota's criteria for when family caregivers (parents, spouses, or legal guardians) can receive payment for providing home nursing care under state home care programs. It adds a new hardship condition allowing payment if family caregivers are needed due to "labor conditions, special language needs, or intermittent hours of care" required to meet a recipient's medical needs. The bill maintains existing limits, including a maximum of 40-60 hours per week for family caregivers and requirements that licensed nurses must conduct safety assessments. It directly affects family members providing home care nursing services for eligible recipients under Minnesota's state plan or waiver programs.
