Verified in-home care in Bloomington

Nothing verified in Bloomington yet. Hospice and home care are delivered wherever the patient lives, so the agency's office address matters far less than its service area. Agencies based in Minneapolis, Brooklyn Park, Plymouth, St. Paul and Roseville routinely cover Bloomington. We only list providers we have confirmed against their own published information, so this list is shorter than the aggregator directories — and more reliable.

The Bloomington market specifically

Bloomington's senior-care market benefits from its location next to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and the Mall of America, which has drawn a cluster of newer assisted living and memory care buildings along the American Boulevard corridor. HealthPartners and Fairview-affiliated clinics serve the city, and residents typically use Abbott Northwestern or Fairview Southdale in neighboring Edina for hospital-level care. The METRO Blue Line and Red Line bus rapid transit both run through Bloomington, giving car-free residents access to both downtown Minneapolis and the southern suburbs.

Bloomington is frequently compared to Richfield for its similar first-ring suburban character and to Edina for its proximity but notably lower price point. Its housing stock, built up mostly from the 1950s through the 1970s, has produced a wave of ranch-style homes now marketed as one-level downsizing options alongside its senior communities.

What the contract does that the tour does not

The residency agreement decides what happens when things change: how care levels are reassessed and repriced, how much notice is required on either side, what the deposit covers and whether it is refundable.

Questions families ask

What license does an assisted living facility need in Minnesota?

Every assisted living community in the Twin Cities must hold an Assisted Living Facility license issued by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 144G. This has been mandatory statewide since August 1, 2021, replacing the older, looser 'Housing with Services' registration model. Facilities must also employ an assisted living director credentialed by the Board of Executives for Long Term Services and Supports.

Does Minnesota require a special license for memory care?

Yes. Any community with a secured dementia care unit must hold the 'assisted living facility with dementia care' license category under Minn. Stat. 144G.10, subd. 2(b) — a base assisted living license is not enough. That license carries two extra legal requirements: dementia-specific staff training under Minn. Stat. 144G.83, and a mandatory written pre-admission disclosure under Minn. Stat. 325F.72.

How do I check if a facility is licensed in Minnesota?

Use the free MDH Health Care Provider Directory to search by provider type ('Assisted Living Facilities' or 'Assisted Living Facilities with Dementia Care'), city, or county — it shows current license status and the administrator of record. For a fuller quality picture, cross-check the Minnesota Assisted Living Report Card (or the Nursing Home Report Card for skilled nursing), which shows resident health, safety, and staffing ratings from MDH surveys.

Is independent living the same as assisted living in Minnesota?

No. Independent living apartments or cooperatives are housing only, with no licensed care services, and are not regulated under Chapter 144G. Assisted living facilities, by contrast, must hold an MDH license because they deliver health-related and supportive services — help with bathing, medication management, mobility — to residents where they live.
