Care options in Burnsville

Questions families ask

What is Minnesota Senior Health Options (MSHO) and who qualifies?

MSHO is Minnesota's voluntary integrated managed-care program for people 65+ who are enrolled in both Medical Assistance and Medicare Parts A & B — it combines Medicaid, Medicare, and Part D benefits into one coordinated plan with a single care coordinator. Plan availability varies by county and by year, so families should confirm which MSHO health plans currently serve their specific Twin Cities county.

What does assisted living cost in the Twin Cities?

Minnesota's statewide median for a private one-bedroom assisted living apartment is cited at roughly $6,573/month in third-party sources referencing the CareScout Cost of Care Survey — figures that could not be independently verified against CareScout's own published tables during this research and should be confirmed before relying on them. CareScout publishes state-level figures only, not a Twin-Cities-specific median, and metro-area facilities likely run above the state figure given regional cost of living.

Is there a published cost for memory care in Minnesota?

No. CareScout, the primary industry cost-of-care survey referenced for Minnesota figures, does not survey memory care as a separate category, so there is no verified statewide or metro median memory-care rate to cite. Any specific memory-care dollar figure circulating online should be treated as unverified.
