The Waters of Edina is part of The Waters Senior Living Management LLC, a company operating communities across Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Memory care is delivered through the company's branded PETALS program. Family testimonials on the site describe the community favorably during difficult transitions, including one family who moved a parent in during the pandemic and praised the staff's ability to keep residents connected and safe.

Edina in context

Edina is home to M Health Fairview Southdale Hospital, one of the busier hospitals in the southwest metro, and its senior housing stock skews toward higher-end independent and assisted living clustered near the Southdale Center and 50th & France retail districts. The city's well-established single-family housing stock, largely built between the 1940s and 1960s, has made downsizing from a family home into nearby senior living a common local pattern. Edina has no light-rail station of its own but sits close to bus connections into Minneapolis.

Questions families ask

What senior care options exist in Hennepin County?

Hennepin County, home to Minneapolis, Bloomington, Edina, Minnetonka, Eden Prairie, Plymouth, Maple Grove, and St. Louis Park, has the metro's widest concentration of licensed assisted living and memory care communities, anchored by the Abbott Northwestern (Allina Health) and University of Minnesota Medical Center (M Health Fairview) hospital systems. All licensing, Medicaid waiver, and ombudsman resources described for the metro apply the same way in Hennepin County as elsewhere, since Minnesota regulates and funds these programs at the state level.

What senior care options exist in Ramsey County?

Ramsey County, anchored by St. Paul, Minnesota's state capital, is served by Regions Hospital (HealthPartners) and is home to the headquarters of the Minnesota Office of Ombudsman for Long-Term Care. Senior housing in Ramsey County, including Roseville and White Bear Lake, often includes communities in converted historic buildings alongside newer construction along transit corridors.

What senior care options exist in Dakota County?

Dakota County's fast-growing southern suburbs — Eagan, Burnsville, and Apple Valley — form the county's highest concentration of assisted living and memory care communities. Dakota County residents access the same Trellis Area Agency on Aging, Senior LinkAge Line, MAARC, and MDH licensing verification tools available across the entire seven-county metro.
