Aging Services For Communities

What Aging Services For Communities does

Aging Services for Communities (ASC) is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) agency headquartered in Montgomery, Minnesota that delivers in-home support services to seniors, disabled individuals, and families across nine southern Minnesota counties (Brown, Dakota, Nicollet, Scott, Waseca, Blue Earth, Le Sueur, Rice, and Steele). Founded in September 2004 with a grant from the Minnesota River Area Agency on Aging, the organization has grown from a small transportation and homemaking provider into a three-line service agency. Its service portfolio comprises Transportation (medical, dental, and mental health appointment transport via approximately 27 volunteer drivers, more than 130 clients and 420+ monthly transports), Homemaker Services (light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, errands, and grocery shopping delivered by 28+ homemakers across six counties), and Companion Care (non-medical social support and community integration assistance, launched in 2025 under a dedicated manager). ASC is licensed by the state of Minnesota and is fully insured and bonded.

ASC's underlying technology is operational rather than software-based: scheduling, billing, documentation, and reporting are managed manually by a small administrative team. There is no proprietary software platform, mobile application, API, or disclosed data infrastructure. Service delivery relies on volunteer drivers' personal vehicles, in-home visits by employed homemakers and companion caregivers, and phone and email coordination; the agency maintains a content website (aging-services.org) and Facebook page for community outreach.

Revenue is generated through two primary streams: Medical Assistance reimbursements via contracts with BluePlus by Bridgeview, the Minnesota Department of Human Services, Medica, MVAC, and UCare under Elderly Waiver, Alternative Care Waiver, and CADI Waiver programs; and private-pay homemaking at $35.00 per hour with a two-hour minimum. The Le Sueur County Senior Transportation Program adds a county-funded channel for residents over 55 not on Medical Assistance. Go-to-market is community-led, with referrals sourced through county social services, insurance case managers, the Senior Linkage Line, Catholic Charities of Southern Minnesota, and direct outreach. The organization does not disclose revenue, has no outside investors, and is led by Executive Director Wade Young.

Others
