Overview of Evergreen Place

Evergreen Place in Pine Island, MN, offers assisted living and memory care. Respite care belongs to the same license. Assisted living covers the daily tasks, among them dressing, bathing, and medication.

Supervision inside a secured area is what the memory care level amounts to. Respite is the version that assumes the resident goes home, and a family books it around travel or a recovery of the caregiver’s own.

The license here covers 30 beds, and at that size learning who everyone is does not take long. The dining is written down as Home-Cooked Food.

It scored 60 for Walk Score, which is the somewhat walkable bond, so some errands are manageable on foot. The three levels are licensed together, which means the level a resident needs next is present here already.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does Minnesota Medicaid cover memory care?

Minnesota Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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.
