Overview of Recovery Home Health Care

Recovery Home Health Care operates as a 5-bed assisted living residence at 717 Terrace Drive in Roseville, in Ramsey County. The two-story community is situated 2.4 miles from Roseville’s downtown in a car-dependent neighborhood (Walk Score 5).

Programming includes daily living support, meal assistance, medication reminders, health coordination, community activities, and evening routines.

The facility is not Medicare or Medicaid certified and currently houses 3 residents in 5 available beds, yielding 60 percent occupancy.

The facility’s regulatory record began with its initial Minnesota Department of Health survey on September 17, 2025, and raised substantial concerns.

State inspectors identified 8 violations and assessed a $1,500 monetary fine.

Food service preparation and service failed to comply with Minnesota Food Code requirements (cited at level two severity). Staff records were incomplete: the clinical nurse supervisor’s file lacked required orientation documentation. The facility had not established a tuberculosis prevention program with the mandated annual risk assessment.

Emergency preparedness planning was absent entirely; inspectors found no written plan containing required elements or evidence of annual review and drills. Fire safety compliance fell short: smoke alarms were not operational (with low battery warnings observed), a fire safety and evacuation plan was not in place, required staff training had not been completed, and evacuation drills had not been conducted twice per shift as regulation requires. Physical conditions failed maintenance standards: a clogged floor drain, leaking faucet, and unsecured electrical outlet without a cover were documented.

Additionally, the registered nurse had not completed required training and competency testing of unlicensed personnel across all mandated skill areas.

Operating Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with stated 24/7 supervision, it admits residents age 18 and older.

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 530 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.
