The Twin Cities senior care market is genuinely fragmented -- five counties, a single regional Area Agency on Aging, and a Minnesota licensing law (Chapter 144G) that only took its current form in August 2021. Add in care-level fees that stack on top of a base rate, and the sticker price a community first quotes is rarely the number a family actually pays.
That is what this site is for. We publish what the Minnesota Department of Health actually requires, what the published cost data actually says, and which Twin Cities communities we have verified — then a local advisor helps you narrow it down. The service is free to your family because communities pay us when a family moves in. You should know that going in, which is why we say it here rather than in the footer.
Minneapolis Senior Advisor is a free senior care referral service for families across the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro. We help you compare licensed assisted living, memory care, nursing and in-home care options, verify licensing through the Minnesota Department of Health, and understand what Medicaid, Medicare and VA benefits will and will not pay for.
