Purpose

The Non-Emergency Medical Transportation in Long-term Care Grant provides funding to increase the capacity of residential facilities serving older adults in Minnesota to meet critical needs and provide services for their residents.

The program goal is to develop systems and strategies to ensure that LTC community residents have the safest, most appropriate, and cost-effective transportation services to participate in essential non- emergency health related appointments. Applicants are encouraged to propose creative solutions and unexplored approaches, as well as modifications to current resources, to fulfill this goal.

Priorities:

  • Intentionally identify how the grant serves diverse populations, especially populations experiencing inequities and/or disparities
  • Supporting transportation resources to increase health care access in geographically isolated communities
  • Programs and strategies that serve as models and may be replicated
  • Projects that can be implemented effectively in a setting with high staff turnover
  • Projects with a regional or statewide reach
  • Projects that are cost-effective
  • Projects with evidence of long-term sustainability
