Overview of Diane’s Place LLC

Diane’s Place LLC is a small care home located on Northwest 180th Lane in a rural pocket of Elk River, Minnesota. The property is a single-level house with 10 total beds, offering a choice between private and shared bedrooms. The single-story footprint allows residents to get around easily without dealing with stairs.

Daily life here focuses on basic, non-medical care, lodging, and everyday supervision. The Minnesota Department of Health inspected the property and noted several compliance issues that needed fixing, specifically regarding fire safety logs, emergency readiness files, and general recordkeeping.

The location itself is quiet and tucked away, carrying a walkability score of just 1 out of 100, so families need a car or scheduled transit to handle medical visits, shopping, and outside errands.

Prospective residents looking for a smaller, house-scale care setting can get in touch with the operator to see which rooms are currently open. The home currently has a 60 percent occupancy rate, meaning the staff looks after a relatively small group of people at any given time.
