Care Built Around the Person

AZA Services LLC — Alliances for Zealous Advancement — is a Minnesota provider licensed by the Department of Human Services to deliver Home and Community-Based Services.

Who We Serve

We support people with disabilities, brain injuries, and age-related needs who want to keep living in their own homes and communities rather than in a facility. We work statewide, from the Twin Cities metro to Greater Minnesota.

  • Adults and youth with a range of support needs
  • Coordination with your county and case manager
  • Services in English and Somali

How We Work

Every plan starts with a conversation about what you actually want your days to look like. From there we build support around your routine, your household, and the people already in your corner.

  • Individualized care plans, reviewed as needs change
  • Your choice of caregiver through our referral program
  • 24-hour emergency assistance and on-call backup
  • Trained, background-checked, supervised staff

How does the Choice Referral Program work?
Our Choice Referral Program gives you the freedom to choose your caregiver. You can bring your own caregiver -- a family member, friend, or someone you trust -- and we handle enrollment, paperwork, and compliance. Or we can match you with a vetted caregiver from our team.
