Evensong Manor

6264 Yukon Ave N, Brooklyn Park, MN 55428
Overview of Evensong Manor

Evensong Manor is a small residential care home located on Yukon Avenue North in a quiet neighborhood of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. The property is a traditional two-story house featuring five private bedrooms, so each person gets their own space within a shared household setup. The home currently looks after four residents, keeping the daily environment small and focused on personal care, medication oversight, and home-cooked meals.

Daily routines here are casual rather than institutional, which allows the staff to adapt to what each resident prefers. The Minnesota Department of Health inspected the property and cited several operational areas that needed attention, specifically staffing levels, employee training, emergency readiness plans, medication handling, and basic house maintenance.

The neighborhood carries a walkability score of 46 out of 100, so while it is a pleasant area, families and staff will still need a car or local transit to manage medical visits and shopping.

Interested individuals can call the house manager directly to see about the single open bedroom. Dropping by for a physical walkthrough is the best way to see how the two-story layout looks.

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.
