Lakeshore – The Fountains covers a lot of ground under one roof in Duluth, Minnesota: assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care, all in a three-story building on London Rd. Kristy Johnson runs it as Executive Director. The neighborhood itself isn’t walkable: a Walk Score of 17 means you’re driving for nearly everything, which is worth knowing going in.
What’s actually backing up the care here is fairly substantial: there’s a doctor on staff, not just visiting, along with licensed nurses and CNAs and 24-hour staffing. Rehabilitation services and short-term rehab are both available, and respite care gives families a way to cover a short-term gap without committing to a permanent move. Home care rounds out the service list as an additional option.
Two named programs stand out: affordable housing and short-term transitional care, both suggesting this isn’t a one-track community. Transportation services and fitness and recreation programming handle the practical side of daily life. On the amenity side, there’s a salon, a spa, a courtyard and garden space, and guest suites for families who come to visit. Pets are allowed during visits in designated areas, though not as full-time residents.
Aspirus St. Luke’s Hospital and its emergency department sit under three miles away, close enough to factor into planning if medical access matters. Put together, what Lakeshore – The Fountains offers is real depth: multiple care levels, licensed medical staffing, rehabilitation services, and amenities that go past the basics, all inside one Duluth campus.

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.
What is memory care?
Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How do I choose the right memory care community 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.
