HomeDirectoryAssisted LivingMainStreet Lodge

An assisted living community for adults 62 and over in Northeast Minneapolis, operated by Catholic Eldercare and directly connected to the Albert J. Hofstede Care Center and St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Chapel.

MainStreet Lodge, at 909 Main Street NE in Northeast Minneapolis, is an assisted living community operated by Catholic Eldercare, a nonprofit that has served the Northeast Minneapolis neighborhood for four decades. The operator's own site describes an intimate facility with open architecture and welcoming porch spaces meant to create a communal, rather than institutional, atmosphere, with large handicap-accessible floor plans that include private bathrooms and kitchens.

Because MainStreet Lodge is directly connected to Catholic Eldercare's Albert J. Hofstede Care Center, residents have an onsite chaplain and direct access to St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Chapel for daily Mass, per the operator's site. Daily life includes therapeutic recreation and pastoral care, planned activities, and field trips. The dining room serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with a choice of meal plans, and included services cover two weekly loads of laundry, weekly housekeeping, and a portable emergency call system, with optional paid add-ons such as a hair salon, whirlpool, massage therapy, personal care, and home care.

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 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.
