South Dakota Dakota at Home and 211 Resource Navigation

South Dakota caregivers can use Dakota at Home, South Dakota's Aging and Disability Resource Center resource directory, the South Dakota Department of Human Services, and the Helpline Center 211 to find local aging, disability, caregiver, respite, home care, Medicaid, Medicare, housing, food, transportation, health care, mental health, senior, disability, and community-service referrals.

What it offers

South Dakota's Department of Human Services says it offers services for people with disabilities and those who are aging, and helps individuals, families, and partners learn about services and how to access them. Dakota at Home is South Dakota's Aging and Disability Resource Center resource directory; it lets people search for help by keyword, location, and topics including basic needs, food, housing, transportation, care at home, medical equipment, home modifications, Medicaid, Medicare, residential living, respite and caregiver resources, government agencies, disability resources, dementia, senior centers, mental health, crisis, and disaster response. Dakota at Home identifies its data providers as the Helpline Center and South Dakota DHS. South Dakota Behavioral Health says 211 helps with everyday needs like health care, housing, education, transportation, and more, with calls answered locally by the Helpline Center. Dakota at Home also lists South Dakota DHS online caregiver support services for all caregivers in South Dakota who care for someone of any age related to aging, disability, or chronic illness.

Questions that decide eligibility

GiveCare prepares the questions; the program makes the decision. Bring these to the call or the application:

  1. 01

    Does the person receiving care live in South Dakota?

    Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.

  2. 02

    Does your relationship to the person — spouse, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, other relative, or non relative — count for this program?

  3. 03

    Does the VA disability rating meet the program’s minimum (our record lists null%)?

  4. 04

    Do the work hours meet the minimum (our record lists null hours)?

  5. 05

    Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name.

    Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.

  6. 06

    What documents do you need from us to start an application?

  7. 07

    Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
