Minnesota surveys the primary family contact for each resident, asking about meals, staff responsiveness, safety, and likelihood to recommend. Scores are compared to peer facilities and converted to a 1–5 star rating. "–" = too few responses to score; "X" = facility refused to participate. <em>Source: MN DHS Assisted Living Report Card</em>
The percentage of residents who reported satisfaction with food variety and mealtimes in Minnesota's statewide quality-of-life survey. Food tends to score lower than other domains statewide, so scores above 85% reflect strong performance relative to peers. <em>Source: MN DHS Assisted Living Report Card</em>
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
Total count of deficiencies (cited regulatory issues) recorded in the selected reporting period. Read alongside inspection counts for context.
The average number of deficiencies this facility receives each time it's inspected, calculated as total deficiencies ÷ total inspections. A lower number suggests more consistent compliance with safety and care standards.

Overview of The Kenwood

The Kenwood is a high-rise at 825 Summit Ave, tucked into Minneapolis’s Calhoun Isles neighborhood. It offers both independent and assisted living in the same building, and it’s been open for forty years. Walkability here is genuinely rare: a Walk Score of 90 means most errands, whether it’s groceries or a coffee run, don’t require a car.

The apartments come in one and two bedroom layouts, and quite a few look out over the skyline. As of now, 35 of the building’s 118 beds are occupied, putting the community at roughly 30 percent capacity. Jenny Volkenant serves as Executive Director.

Bringing a pet along isn’t a small thing when someone’s leaving a house they’ve lived in for thirty or forty years, and residents here can do that. The activities calendar avoids repetition too: expect guest lectures, group outings to museums and theaters, fitness classes, and the occasional sporting event, alongside more casual social gatherings.

The Kenwood is a downtown-adjacent option for people who want to stay independent, walk to things, and keep their calendar full, with assisted living on-site for when needs change.

Overview of New Perspective Arden Hills

New Perspective Arden Hills offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Arden Hills, Minnesota. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident keeps an apartment; Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care; and memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Having all three care levels in one community may suit a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move to another community.

The community has 160 beds, placing it among larger communities with more residents and staff and usually more programming than a small home. Studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments are available, with the larger layouts also suiting a couple or someone who wants a companion. Respite care provides a short stay for a family caregiver who needs to travel or recover, while short-term rehab offers a temporary setting for rehabilitation.

A starting price of $1,990 per month gives families an initial figure for monthly budgeting. Restaurant-style dining, chef-created meals, a bistro or cafe, and in-room dining provide several ways to receive meals. On-site occupational and physical therapy allows rehabilitation services without arranging outside transportation, and the heated indoor pool, fitness and wellness spaces, therapy gym, secured courtyard, and garden patio provide places for exercise, therapy, and outdoor time.

The community has a full calendar of social events and trips, including transportation for community outings, happy hours at the pub, and cultural events and concerts with Bethel University. Pets are allowed. A Walk Score of 33 places the area in a car-dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride, while community transportation is available for outings.

Overview of Abiitan Mill City

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.

Overview of The Waters on 50th

The Waters on 50th occupies 3500 W 50th St in Southwest Minneapolis, a 110-bed community that covers real ground on the care spectrum: independent living, assisted living, and memory care, with actual licensing approval for dementia care rather than just a general assisted living designation. The mid-rise building holds studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units, running 451 up to 1,348 square feet.

Location works heavily in this community’s favor. The Walk Score is 89, close to the top of the scale, and occupancy currently sits at 76 percent. Abbott Northwestern’s Joint Replacement Center is just 4.12 miles out, close enough that specialized medical care isn’t a logistical headache.

The amenity list reads more like a hospitality property than a typical care facility: a full-service restaurant with seasonal menus, a dedicated concierge, a wellness center, spa and salon services. Underneath that layer, though, the actual care infrastructure is solid: therapy and rehabilitation, enhanced care, transportation, and recreational and educational programming round out daily life.

On the regulatory side, inspections here have tended to focus on medication management and dietary and food service, the kind of operational areas state regulators commonly review at communities offering memory care.

The Waters on 50th is a Minneapolis community built to combine genuine dementia-care licensing with a hospitality-driven daily experience, in a location where getting around rarely requires a car.

Overview of The Pillars of Prospect Park

The community offers flexibility in housing through studio, one-, and two-bedroom floor plans, which can fit different care needs and family support arrangements. Currently operating at 73 percent occupancy, the home has available space for new residents.

Minnesota Department of Health inspections have noted themes in medication management, care documentation, and resident assessment processes that potential residents and their families may want to understand in detail when evaluating the facility.

What will provide a full picture of daily operations and help families assess if this setting is a good match for their loved one is an on-site tour.

Overview of Keystone Place at LaValle Fields

Keystone Place at LaValle Fields operates independent living, assisted living, and memory care in Hugo, MN. Residents of independent living maintain a personal residence and use the services of the community, without any daily care provided. Assisted living allows residents to maintain their own apartments, while staff take care of bathing, dressing, medication, and other daily activities.

Memory care combines supervision with a secured setting where wandering is currently a risk. With three tiers available, a resident’s support can increase while the location remains unchanged.

There are 117 beds, arranged for either single occupancy or for two, allowing couples to move in together. Pets can accompany their owners, and Bill Currier serves as the executive director. The Walk Score in this area is 31, indicating it’s car-dependent, where errands usually require a vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Minneapolis, MN

What is the average cost of assisted living in Minneapolis, MN?

The average monthly cost of assisted living in Minneapolis, MN is approximately $5,600. Actual rates vary by community, level of care, and floorplan.

What is the price range for assisted living in Minneapolis, MN?

What is the typical staff-to-resident ratio at assisted living facilities in Minneapolis, MN?

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.
