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.

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 many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 338 memory care communities in Minnesota. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

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. 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 memory care communities 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.
