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.

Visit twice, at different hours

A scheduled mid-morning tour and an unannounced 7 p.m. drop-in can look like two different buildings. Evening and overnight are when staffing thins and when families are most often surprised.

Eat a meal there. Talk to a resident's family member in the parking lot rather than one the community introduces you to.

You can check any facility's record free. Use the free MDH Health Care Provider Directory and the Minnesota Assisted Living Report Card to check license status and inspection history. Read the full explanation →

Questions families ask

Does Medicaid pay for the full cost of assisted living in Minnesota?

No. Medical Assistance, through the Elderly Waiver, pays only for the care-services portion delivered inside a licensed assisted living facility, never the room-and-board charge. Minnesota does not have a broad state subsidy that covers private-pay room and board, though very-low-income residents in certain licensed settings may qualify for a separate, narrower Housing Support benefit to help offset it.

What are Minnesota's income and asset limits for nursing home Medical Assistance in 2026?

Minnesota is a '209(b) medically needy' state with no fixed income cap — income above the Medically Needy Income Limit (commonly cited around $1,305/month for an individual in 2026) must be spent down on medical or care costs each budget period. Countable assets are generally limited to around $3,000 for a single applicant and $6,000 for a couple both applying, though these specific dollar figures are third-party sourced and should be reconfirmed against DHS's Eligibility Policy Manual before relying on them for a specific case.

How much can a healthy spouse keep if their partner needs Medicaid-covered nursing home care in Minnesota?

Under Minnesota's Community Spouse Asset Allowance (Minn. Stat. 256B.059), a non-applicant spouse can generally protect between $32,532 and $162,660 in assets (2026 federal figures), plus a Minimum Monthly Maintenance Needs Allowance of income ranging from about $2,705 to $4,066.50 per month, depending on their own income and housing costs.

What is Minnesota's Medical Assistance Estate Recovery Program, and can the state take my parent's house?

Minnesota's Estate Recovery Program (MERP), under Minn. Stat. 256B.15, lets the state file a claim after a Medical Assistance recipient's death (and, if married, generally after the surviving spouse's death too) to recover what MA paid for long-term services and supports. Minnesota's program can reach beyond the probate estate to jointly held property, life estates, transfer-on-death deeds, and revocable trusts, so common probate-avoidance planning doesn't automatically shield a home.
