Overview of Minnetonka Care Residence

Minnetonka Care Residence is a six-bed care home located in East Bloomington, Minnesota. The single-story setup keeps the bedrooms and shared spaces on one floor, so nobody has to deal with stairs. The house is running at a 67 percent occupancy rate, giving it the quiet feel of a typical household.

The staff takes care of day-to-day needs such as cooking, cleaning, and helping with basic personal routines. During an inspection, the Minnesota Department of Health reviewed the home’s practices regarding fire safety, infection control, kitchen rules, staff supervision, medication storage, and contract paperwork. A follow-up state check confirmed the facility fixed these issues and reached full compliance, with zero complaints on file.

The local neighborhood requires a car for just about everything, as there are very few places within walking distance. Interested individuals can call the owner directly to ask about the two open beds.
