HomeDirectoryNursing HomeJones-Harrison Senior Living

A nonprofit senior living community overlooking Cedar Lake in Minneapolis, founded in 1888, offering assisted living, memory care, transitional/rehabilitation care and 24-hour long-term nursing care; now managed by Ebenezer.

Jones-Harrison Senior Living has operated on the same Cedar Lake-adjacent campus in Minneapolis since 1888, making it one of the oldest continuously operating senior communities in the city. The organization's own site lists its care continuum as assisted living, memory care, long-term care, and transitional/rehabilitation care with 24-hour nursing. As a private, nonprofit organization run by a volunteer board, Jones-Harrison reports more than 46,000 annual volunteer hours and roughly 220 resident activities.

The transitional care unit is aimed at short-term rehabilitation after a hospital stay, while the long-term care center provides ongoing skilled nursing for residents with complex medical needs. Jones-Harrison is now part of Ebenezer, described on the site as Minnesota's largest senior housing operator, which provides management and clinical oversight while Jones-Harrison retains its own nonprofit board and identity. The campus setting and lake views are repeatedly emphasized in the site's own marketing copy.

How Minnesota regulates this provider

Nursing homes in Minnesota are licensed under the separate Minnesota Statutes Chapter 144A, and carry a federal CMS Care Compare star rating in addition to state licensure. Families can pull current license status and inspection history free through the MDH Health Care Provider Directory.

Evaluating a skilled nursing facility

  • Pull both records: your state health department's survey history and the CMS Care Compare rating.
  • Ask whether the stay is expected to be short-term rehabilitation or long-term care, and what happens when Medicare coverage for rehabilitation ends.
  • Ask about therapy intensity and who provides it, since post-acute outcomes track closely with it.

Minneapolis in context

As the region's hub, Minneapolis carries the metro's deepest bench of hospital-affiliated senior care, anchored by Allina Health's Abbott Northwestern Hospital in the Whittier neighborhood and the University of Minnesota Medical Center / M Health Fairview campus along the Mississippi riverfront. The city's light-rail spine, where the METRO Blue and Green Lines converge downtown, puts a large share of its assisted living and memory care buildings within walking distance of a train stop, a rarity in the Twin Cities. Building stock ranges from converted early-1900s apartment blocks in neighborhoods like Loring Park to newer high-rise senior communities downtown and near the Chain of Lakes.

Questions families ask

What's the difference between the Elderly Waiver and Alternative Care in Minnesota?

The Elderly Waiver (EW) is a federal-state Medicaid HCBS waiver requiring the applicant to already be Medical Assistance eligible, while Alternative Care (AC) is a state-only-funded program (no federal match) for seniors who need EW-equivalent services but aren't yet financially MA-eligible. Both use a similar service array and cost cap and never pay room and board.

How does a nursing home differ from assisted living in Minnesota?

Nursing homes provide 24-hour skilled nursing care for residents with significant medical needs and are licensed and regulated separately from assisted living, with their own Nursing Home Report Card. Assisted living, licensed under Chapter 144G, serves residents who need help with daily activities and some health-related services but not continuous skilled nursing oversight, and is generally less expensive.

Independent living vs. assisted living vs. memory care — how do I know which one my parent needs?

Independent living is unlicensed housing with no care services; assisted living is a licensed setting (Chapter 144G) providing help with daily activities and some health services; memory care is the separately licensed 'assisted living facility with dementia care' category for residents needing secured, dementia-specific care. The right fit depends on a functional assessment of daily living needs, cognitive status, and safety risk, not just preference.
