Overview of Heritage Haven III

Heritage Haven III has spent 26 years in Duluth, Minnesota, and what it’s built its identity around is specific: dementia and memory care. The 33-bed community sits at 3044 Morris Thomas Rd, about 3.3 miles from downtown, in a stretch of the city where a car is essentially required. The Walk Score here is 4, about as car-dependent as it gets.

85% of its beds are filled, 28 out of 33, which speaks to the ongoing demand in a city this size. The community is approved for dementia care specifically, not just equipped to handle it as an afterthought, and that approval comes with a dedicated wellness program built around it. Personalized support and memory care therapies round out what’s actually offered to residents who need that level of attention.

Licensed nurses and CNAs staff the place, and home care is available as an additional service beyond the residential setup. For day-to-day life, there are art classes and fitness sessions, small things, but they’re the kind of structure that keeps residents engaged rather than just occupying space.

On the regulatory side, inspections at facilities like this one tend to center on medication management, fire safety systems, staffing credentials, and care planning documentation, the same handful of areas regulators watch across assisted living generally.

What Heritage Haven III offers, in the end, is a long-tenured, dementia-focused community in Duluth with real staffing behind it and near-full occupancy to show for it. That’s a narrow lane, but it’s one this facility has been running in for over two decades.
