How Minnesota regulates this provider

Assisted living facilities in Minnesota are licensed by the Minnesota Department of Health under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 144G. A facility marketing memory care must hold the distinct "assisted living facility with dementia care" license under Minn. Stat. 144G.10, subd. 2(b), not merely provide a disclosure. Families can pull current license status and inspection history free through the MDH Health Care Provider Directory.

Evaluating a memory care community

  • Ask to see the community's MDH license for "assisted living facility with dementia care" and the written pre-admission disclosure required under Minn. Stat. 325F.72.
  • Ask how exits are secured, what happens when a resident tries a door, and when an elopement last occurred here.
  • Ask the overnight staffing ratio inside the secured unit specifically, not the building-wide daytime figure.

Maple Grove in context

Maple Grove is anchored by Maple Grove Hospital, a joint venture between North Memorial Health and Fairview Health Services that opened in 2009, and the city's senior housing supply has expanded quickly alongside it, with several assisted living and memory care communities built within a mile or two of the hospital campus. As one of the fastest-growing suburbs in the northwest metro, Maple Grove's housing stock is dominated by newer single-family and townhome development from the 1990s through today. The city sits along Interstate 94 and is served by Metro Transit express routes into downtown Minneapolis.

Questions families ask

What is Minnesota Senior Health Options (MSHO) and who qualifies?

MSHO is Minnesota's voluntary integrated managed-care program for people 65+ who are enrolled in both Medical Assistance and Medicare Parts A & B — it combines Medicaid, Medicare, and Part D benefits into one coordinated plan with a single care coordinator. Plan availability varies by county and by year, so families should confirm which MSHO health plans currently serve their specific Twin Cities county.

What does assisted living cost in the Twin Cities?

Minnesota's statewide median for a private one-bedroom assisted living apartment is cited at roughly $6,573/month in third-party sources referencing the CareScout Cost of Care Survey — figures that could not be independently verified against CareScout's own published tables during this research and should be confirmed before relying on them. CareScout publishes state-level figures only, not a Twin-Cities-specific median, and metro-area facilities likely run above the state figure given regional cost of living.

Is there a published cost for memory care in Minnesota?

No. CareScout, the primary industry cost-of-care survey referenced for Minnesota figures, does not survey memory care as a separate category, so there is no verified statewide or metro median memory-care rate to cite. Any specific memory-care dollar figure circulating online should be treated as unverified.
