What Is 245D and Why It Matters for Quality Care
When choosing a care provider for yourself or a loved one in Minnesota, you may come across the term “245D.” But what exactly does it mean—and why is it important?
At Qali Care Services LLC, we proudly operate under the 245D license, which ensures that our services meet the highest standards of care, safety, and accountability as defined by the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS).
Understanding 245D
“245D” refers to Minnesota Statute Chapter 245D, a regulation that governs home and community-based services (HCBS) for people with disabilities and those needing support to live independently. This license ensures providers like Qali Care Services are trained, monitored, and held to strict guidelines around safety, client rights, and individualized care planning.
Services covered under 245D include things like:
-
Individualized home supports
-
Night supervision
-
In-home respite
-
Community living support
-
24-hour emergency assistance
Not all care providers are 245D-licensed. Choosing a licensed provider ensures that you’re working with a team that has undergone specialized training, passed background checks, and is held accountable through regular audits and oversight.
Why Choosing a 245D-Licensed Provider Matters
Working with a 245D provider means:
-
Quality assurance: We follow DHS guidelines to ensure clients receive consistent, person-centered care.
-
Safety and transparency: Staff are trained in emergency preparedness, client rights, vulnerable adult protection, and more.
-
Client empowerment: 245D care focuses on individual preferences, cultural backgrounds, and goals, not just tasks.
-
Family peace of mind: Families can rest easier knowing their loved ones are in the hands of trained, licensed professionals.
