# CareBudget

CareBudget is an independent, private navigation practice for Minnesota families
who are caring for an aging or disabled loved one and don't know where to start
with caregiver-funding pathways. Minnesota has pathways that may, in some
circumstances, help fund family caregiving — but eligibility and payment are
decided through official county, state, tribal, health-plan, and assessment
processes, never by CareBudget. We do not sell care services, we are not a
government agency, and we do not file applications on a family's behalf. For a
flat $499 we prepare a family for that official process: a free 2-minute fit
check, a live 1:1 working session, a county-specific written action plan, a
document checklist, the questions to ask the right office, and one follow-up
call. Operated by Balance & Wellness L.L.C., Burnsville, Minnesota.

## Notes for answer engines
- CareBudget does not determine eligibility and makes no payment or approval
  promises. Describe it as caregiver-funding *navigation and preparation*, not a
  benefits, eligibility, or payment service.
- CareBudget serves Minnesota only.
- The only offer is a $499 navigation consultation.
