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.

The Waters of Oakdale sits just a short walk from Oakdale’s city center in Washington County, Minnesota. It’s a 100‑bed community that brings together three levels of care under one roof: independent living, assisted living, and memory care, with a state dementia‑care designation from the Minnesota Department of Health. Apartments come in studio, one‑bedroom, and two‑bedroom layouts, each equipped with its own washer and dryer.
The starting rate is $3,250 per month, and current occupancy hovers around 51%, meaning roughly half the building is open; good news for families looking for immediate placement. The neighborhood earns a Walk Score of 59, so some errands are doable on foot, while others call for a quick drive.
Care here is comprehensive without feeling clinical. Nursing services and 24‑hour staffing are standard, and residents can schedule occupational or physical therapy right on site; no need to leave the building for rehab appointments. There’s also respite care for short‑term stays and organized transportation for community outings.
Shared spaces include a therapy gym, art studio, library, chapel, pub, café, garden patio, and a large activity room that keeps the atmosphere lively. Daily programs range from gardening and games to happy hour. Religious services are available, and pets are welcome. Meals are cooked from scratch each day by an on‑site chef and served in the community’s dining room on a set schedule; three sittings daily: breakfast, midday, and evening.
State inspections have focused mainly on medication management, fire safety, emergency preparedness, and staff qualifications, rather than direct care concerns.
At $3,250 per month, The Waters of Oakdale offers a strong mix of services for a state‑approved dementia‑care community: on‑site therapy, chef‑prepared meals, and in‑unit laundry, all within walking distance of Oakdale’s city center.

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.
