HomeBrooklyn ParkAssisted Living

Assisted living is for someone who is largely independent but needs a reliable hand with the everyday things — bathing, dressing, medications, meals, getting to appointments. In Minnesota this is the Assisted Living Facility license, issued by the Minnesota Department of Health under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 144G — a single license category, not tiered by resident acuity or evacuation ability the way some states are.

The Brooklyn Park market specifically

Brooklyn Park, one of the most populous and diverse suburbs in the metro, is served by North Memorial Health Hospital just south in Robbinsdale, and its senior housing supply includes a growing number of culturally specific assisted living and adult day programs reflecting the city's large Southeast Asian, East African, and Latino communities. The city is slated to gain several stations when the METRO Blue Line Extension is built north from Minneapolis, though as of 2026 that project remains in design, with construction not expected to begin until 2027 and opening projected around 2030. Housing stock spans 1960s-1970s starter homes near the southern border to newer development along Highway 610 to the north.

Brooklyn Park is often compared to Maple Grove and Coon Rapids; it generally offers more moderate pricing than Maple Grove along with a wider range of culturally specific care options, which families researching language- or faith-specific care frequently cite as a deciding factor.

Questions families ask

What is the Elderly Waiver and what does it cover?

The Elderly Waiver (EW) is Minnesota's Medicaid home- and community-based services waiver for seniors 65+ who are Medical Assistance eligible and assessed via MnCHOICES as needing a nursing-facility level of care. It covers personal care assistance, homemaker services, home health aide, case management, adult day services, respite care, home-delivered meals, and — inside licensed assisted living — 'customized living' or '24-hour customized living' service packages, but it never pays room and board.

What is Alternative Care and how is it different from the Elderly Waiver?

Alternative Care (AC) is a Minnesota state-funded program — no federal Medicaid match — for seniors who need Elderly-Waiver-equivalent services but aren't yet financially eligible for Medical Assistance. It uses largely the same service array and cost cap as EW and is designed to delay or prevent a Medicaid spend-down or nursing home placement, while EW itself requires the person to already be MA-eligible.

How do I apply for Medical Assistance long-term care or a waiver in the Twin Cities?

Start by contacting your county human services agency (Hennepin, Ramsey, Dakota, Anoka, or Washington County) or calling the Senior LinkAge Line at 1-800-333-2433 to request a MnCHOICES long-term-care needs assessment, which determines functional eligibility, alongside a separate financial application for Medical Assistance.

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.
