Overview of Ksms Our House

In Austin, MN, KSMS Our House runs two care levels, assisted living and memory care. Assisted living brings help with ordinary jobs, including bathing, dressing, and medication. The secured level, with supervision included, is memory care, which is for when wandering has become a hazard.

With both levels on the one license, a deepening need does not start a new search for a different facility.

Eighty-nine beds are covered by that license. Respite care belongs to the services list, covering brief stays necessary while a family’s regular caregiver is occupied. Senior Apartments appears on the list as well.

At 86, the neighborhood reads as very walkable, and errands can be run on foot after a car goes. Pets are permitted, which settles a question some families arrive with.

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.
