Assisted Living, Independent Living & Memory Care · Minneapolis, MN

Overview of Minnehaha Senior Living

Minnehaha Senior Living offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care in Minneapolis, MN. Independent living provides a private home with community services and no daily care, while assisted living adds help with dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident keeps an apartment. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

The three care levels may suit a resident whose needs could grow over time without requiring a move to a different community. Minnehaha Senior Living has 84 beds, with studio, one bedroom apartment, and two bedroom apartment layouts. A studio is a single private space, while a two bedroom apartment can suit a couple moving together.

Monthly starting rates are $3,700 for independent living, $4,200 for assisted living, and $5,399 for memory care. These figures give families a starting point for budgeting at each care level. The care options may be a good fit for someone who wants to remain in one community as support needs change, or for a couple who wants to move together.

A Walk Score of 73 places the community in a very walkable area of the Standish neighborhood. Most errands can be done on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still reach nearby shops, pharmacies, or cafes independently.

Residents have access to a fitness area, whirlpool spa, courtyard, and sun porch. These spaces provide options for exercise, relaxation, and outdoor time without leaving the community. The café, available snacks, chapel, church services, and spiritual programs support dining and faith based activities on site.

Scheduled activities include fitness classes, crafts, bingo, and card games. Camp Joy overnight summer camp and pontoon boat rides add occasional experiences beyond the regular activity schedule.
