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.

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.

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.
