Assisted Living, Independent Living & Memory Care · Minneapolis, MN

Overview of Abiitan Mill City

Abiitan Mill City sits at 428 S 2nd St in downtown Minneapolis, a 110-bed community managed by Ecumen and owned by Erwan Moison. It’s been running for 11 years, and it doesn’t specialize in just one level of care. Independent living, assisted living, and memory care all exist under the same roof, though residents do need to be 55 or older to move in.

Location is genuinely a strength here. The Walk Score is 92, close to the top of the scale, so daily errands rarely require a car. Units run one and two bedrooms, from 694 up to 2,204 square feet, and right now 98 of the 110 beds are filled, putting occupancy at 89 percent.

Two named programs stand out for flexibility: Adult Day Services and Short-Term Transitional Care, alongside respite care and home care support. That combination matters for families who don’t need a permanent move right away but want a real option in place when circumstances shift.

On the regulatory side, inspections here have tended to center on fire-safety systems and medication management, the kind of operational areas state regulators routinely review at communities like this one.

Eleven years of operation, a highly walkable downtown location, and flexible short-term care options: what this shows is how Abiitan Mill City is a Minneapolis community built to handle a range of senior living needs, from an occasional day program to a full move-in, without requiring a family to start over somewhere new as those needs shift.
