Havenwood of Minnetonka

A rental senior living community offering independent living, assisted living, enhanced assisted living, and memory care, managed by LCS, with no large entrance or buy-in fee.

Havenwood of Minnetonka is a senior living community offering independent living, assisted living, enhanced assisted living, and memory care. The operator describes enhanced assisted living as a step between standard assisted living and skilled nursing, for residents who need more support but aren't ready for a nursing facility.

A distinguishing point on Havenwood's own site is its rental model: residents pay no large entrance or buy-in fee typical of continuing-care retirement communities, and instead pay month to month while still getting priority access to higher levels of care as needs change. The community describes itself as having an intimate, tight-knit neighborhood feel. Havenwood of Minnetonka is managed by LCS (Life Care Services), credited in the site footer alongside a matching Havenwood of Maple Grove property under the same management company.

Minnetonka in context

Minnetonka's senior communities cluster around Ridgedale Center and along Highway 7 and Interstate 494, with hospital-level care typically drawing residents to Methodist Hospital in neighboring St. Louis Park or Fairview Southdale in Edina. The under-construction METRO Green Line Extension (Southwest LRT), targeted to open in 2027, will add two stations in Minnetonka, which is already influencing where new senior housing projects near Opus and Shady Oak are being sited. Much of the city's housing stock dates from the 1960s-1980s suburban boom, with a growing number of newer communities near Lake Minnetonka's east side.

Questions families ask

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.
