Overview of Hillside Homes I

Hillside Homes I offers memory care and assisted living in Duluth, Minnesota. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, while assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident keeps a private apartment.

Both care levels are available here. A resident whose needs grow over time may be able to remain at Hillside Homes I rather than move to another community. The home is in the East Hillside neighborhood, where a Walk Score of 80 places the area in the very walkable band, so most errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives can still reach nearby shops, a pharmacy, or cafes independently.

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?
