A note on counting: we show 117 licensed in-home care agencies listed for Minneapolis proper. Other sites show bigger numbers when they count a wide radius. Nearby options are linked below, labeled by city.
Providers appear with their government data: license status, capacity, inspection history, and a CMS star rating where the service has one. The order is the date we last verified each record, newest first. Nobody pays to appear, and nobody pays to move up. If a listing says "Sponsored," a provider paid for that placement and the label says so.
Looking for a transparent sort by CMS stars, inspection records, and staffing? That is a separate data ranking, not an editorial pick.
Most listings publish no price. The Minneapolis in-home care median is $8,432/mo, an estimate; ask each agency for its own number in writing.
Sponsored placements, when they appear, are always labeled. How we make money →
