24-hour emergency assistance — listed in Minnesota Statutes 245D.03 as a basic support service and defined under the CADI and DD waiver plans as 24-hour emergency assistance, personal emergency response — gives a person who lives in their own home a reliable way to reach trained help at any hour. Support is arranged in the person's coordinated support plan and is limited to counseling, consultation, and response to keep the person safe; it does not include training or habilitation.
