Every provider in this directory was verified against its own published information as of 2026-07-26. That is a deliberately narrow standard, and it means this directory is smaller than the aggregator listings you will find elsewhere.

Short answer

This directory lists 60 verified senior care providers across the Twin Cities metro, covering assisted living, memory care, nursing homes, independent living, home health and hospice.

What verified means here. Name, address, ZIP, county and care type were each confirmed against the operator's own website. We do not publish bed counts, license numbers, pricing or star ratings we could not source. Communities that appear on aggregator sites but that we could not confirm currently operate under that name at that address are not listed here.

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.

What's the difference between an MDH complaint and a MAARC abuse report?

MDH's Office of Health Facility Complaints (651-201-4200 metro, 1-800-369-7994 greater Minnesota) handles concerns about a licensed facility's regulatory compliance — things like understaffing or unsafe conditions — during business hours. The Minnesota Adult Abuse Reporting Center, or MAARC (1-844-880-1574), is the separate 24/7 statewide line for reporting suspected abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation of a specific vulnerable adult.

Will assisted living facilities in Minnesota be renamed or reclassified soon?

No reclassification is coming, but a new consumer-protection rule takes effect January 1, 2027: the term 'assisted living' becomes legally protected under Minn. Stat. 144G.10, subd. 5, meaning a community can only advertise or describe itself as 'assisted living' if it actually holds an MDH assisted living license under Chapter 144G.
