Overview of Mount Royal Pines III

Twenty-seven years is a long time for any assisted living community to stay open, and Mount Royal Pines III has spent all of them in Duluth, Minnesota, at 50 E St Marie St. It’s a 54-bed community in a three-story apartment building, with one- and two-bedroom units for residents to choose from.

The neighborhood scores a 61 on walkability, moderately walkable, so some errands can be handled on foot while others still call for a car. Twenty-four-hour staffing is in place, and home care is available as an additional service beyond the standard residential setup. Transportation services help fill in the gaps for anything outside walking range.

Inside, there’s a fitness center, a wellness program, a library, and a salon, the kind of everyday amenities that let residents handle small parts of daily life without leaving the building. Pets are allowed here too, so a move doesn’t have to mean giving up a companion animal.

Aspirus St. Luke’s Hospital and its emergency department sit under two miles away, close enough to be a real factor if medical access matters to the decision. What Mount Royal Pines III offers, based on nearly three decades in operation, is stability: a pet-friendly, moderately walkable community with round-the-clock staffing and enough on-site amenities to cover most of daily life without extra trips.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Minnesota

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Minnesota?

Assisted living in Minnesota supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Minnesota?

Assisted living in Minnesota is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Minnesota Medicaid cover assisted living?

Minnesota Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Minnesota) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 527 assisted living facilities in Minnesota. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Minnesota?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Minnesota, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Minnesota?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
