HomeNeighborhoodsLinden HillsAssisted Living

Assisted living is for someone who is largely independent but needs a reliable hand with the everyday things — bathing, dressing, medications, meals, getting to appointments. In Minnesota this is the Assisted Living Facility license, issued by the Minnesota Department of Health under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 144G — a single license category, not tiered by resident acuity or evacuation ability the way some states are.

Linden Hills specifically

Families searching for senior care in Linden Hills often start by looking at nearby Edina and St. Louis Park communities, since Linden Hills itself has limited large-scale senior housing and instead functions as a source of long-time residents transitioning out of single-family homes into care elsewhere in Southwest Minneapolis.

Questions families ask

My parent is being discharged from a Twin Cities hospital in 3 days, what do I do?

Ask the hospital's discharge planner or social worker immediately for a written discharge plan and request time to explore options — Medicare-covered patients have federal appeal rights to delay a discharge they believe is premature. Simultaneously call the Senior LinkAge Line (1-800-333-2433) for options counseling and, if a nursing-facility level of care is likely, ask about starting a MnCHOICES assessment for Elderly Waiver or Alternative Care eligibility right away, since that process takes time.

What's the difference between a short-term rehab stay and moving straight into assisted living after a hospital stay?

Short-term rehab (skilled nursing care, often Medicare-covered for a limited period after a qualifying hospital stay) focuses on recovering function — physical therapy, wound care, medication stabilization — with an expected return home or to a lower level of care. Assisted living, licensed under Chapter 144G, is a longer-term housing-plus-care setting for someone who needs ongoing daily support rather than short-term recovery.

Can a hospital discharge my parent to a nursing home against our wishes?

A hospital cannot force a specific placement, but it can determine a patient is medically ready for discharge and is not obligated to keep someone hospitalized once acute care is no longer needed; families can request the hospital's list of options and, for Medicare patients, invoke formal discharge appeal rights if they believe the discharge itself is unsafe or premature.
