Minneapolis, MN 55404

As an organization of caregivers, we know providing full-time care for your loved one at home can be difficult at times. That’s why we’ve developed a program at Ebenezer to give you a hand. For more than 33 years, the Ebenezer Adult Day Program has helped older adults remain as independent as possible, while giving their caregivers support and peace of mind.

We Can Help

Our warm and caring staff provides personalized care for adults 55 and older who live at home or with family, but need some assistance during the day while caregivers are at work, or simply in need of a break. Ebenezer’s adult day program also offers relief to caregivers who can rest assured that their family member’s medical, social and spiritual needs are bring met in a safe, enjoyable atmosphere.

Experience You Can Trust

You can trust that at Ebenezer, your loved one is in good hands. For more than 90 years, Ebenezer, a part of Fairview Health Services, has helped older adults and others make their lives more independent, healthful, meaningful and secure.

Enrollment Process

Private pay individuals can self-refer to our program. Caregivers should call and schedule a meeting with the director of our program and tour of our facility. During this visit, we will determine if the adult day program can best meet the needs of your family member and, if so, will help develop a schedule for their attendance. We can also help arrange transportation at this time.

If an older adult is on county or medical assistance, a caseworker must send us an authorization of services before they can attend our program. We strongly encourage caregivers and participants to also meet with us and tour the facility before beginning our program.

When you visit us, we will ask you to complete a health assessment and application form. We require a complete medical report from a physician at the time of enrollment and yearly thereafter.

Please call 612-879-1499 for more information or to schedule an appointment to visit our program.
