Located on the banks of Lake Superior and at the headwaters of the mighty Mississippi river, Minnesota has earned the nickname “Land of 10,000 Lakes” for good reason. In fact, there are 11,842 lakes in the state that cover a total over 2.6 million acres. “The North Star State” is truly a nature lover’s paradise, filled with lakes, rivers, wide open prairies, and dense pine forests. Many locals enjoy fishing and hunting during the summer and snowmobiling and ice fishing during the winter. The state has a large Scandinavian influence and some residents have a unique accent, made famous in the Coen Brothers film “Fargo”. Minnesotans are often known for being “Minnesota Nice” – the locals tend to be very hospitable and friendly, and enjoy sharing each other’s company over a home-cooked meal. Whether you’re a fan of relaxing in nature and enjoying outdoor recreation, or you’d prefer spending time in a major city like Minneapolis, Minnesota has something to offer everyone.
Currently, A Place for Mom partners with more than 400 senior living communities in Minnesota that provide assisted living. The median monthly cost of assisted living in Minnesota is about $4,400.
Assisted Living
From what I can see, I feel like they do a fairly decent job of caring for my loved one. I know it's a difficult job, and one I was no longer able to do myself. They get her up to go the bathroom every two hours, and they check on her in the night and will take her if she needs to go. She hasn't complained about the staff. Most of the residents seem pretty happy there, but I imagine they all want to go home on some level. Security wise, they do a good job of keeping it locked and secure for residents who wander. One thing I don't think they do a very good job of is cleaning her room. I've seen feces on her shower chair, candy wrappers on the floor, used towels lying around, and I haven't seen any garbage cans in there. The food is okay, just kind of bland. They seem to keep my loved one pretty busy with activities. They have singalongs, light exercise in the mornings, and they play bingo quite often. They also have a bus and take the residents on field trips. This type of care is expensive, and I would like to see more from housekeeping for the amount that I pay.
Read moreThese are excellent people to work with. Very happy with these people right now in this community. Moving into another area and they have everything together and ready to go and they are keeping me informed.
Read moreThey are understaffed, even though they are not at full capacity there are still not enough staff for the people that are there. My loved one has one of the most expensive packages and breakfast is at 8:00 am, a lot of times they don't come to get my loved one until around 10-11 am to get breakfast so she misses it. Then they charge $3 to deliver the food to you. Some of the staff are amazing but some of them are not there to take care of these people, most of them are good but some are not. The RN on staff is terrible. The residents are sent to the ER for anything. They recently lost the head chef also so at this time the meals are not good at all and a lot of residents dislike it. There is also a bistro that is supposed to be open but it has not been open since the time we have been there so we are not able to go eat with our loved one. It is a beautiful facility and if it was how it was advertised it would be good.

Planning ahead can better position you to make good choices for your loved one’s care in the future. But if your aging family member needs care now, there are ways to finance the cost of long-term care through a combination of approaches.
Assisted living is long-term care for seniors who are generally active and independent, but who require increased supervision and help with some daily tasks. Staff can assist residents with activities of daily living like dressing, bathing, and medication management. Assisted living is also a good option for seniors seeking more socialization.
