Recent reviews of Independent Living in Minnetonka, MN
Cornerstone Assisted Living of Plymouth
3.5

It’s a good location for the area. It is a smaller size but I feel it is a nice size. If we had not brought in hospice early out I ‘m not sure it would have worked out for my parents. It is more set up for higher functioning folks. Food is good. Rooms were well designed. Move in process was easy and the marketing person was good. Some of the nurses were less helpful than other support staff. The Covid virus made it hard for everyone.

Bel Rae Senior Living in Mounds View, MN
3.5

We chose Bel Rae Senior Living because of the newness of the building, the friendly and helpful staff members, and the overall accommodations as well. He has a 1 bedroom apartment and it is a little on the smaller side if your have more furniture. The food is ok and they keep striving to improve it. Overall, I would recommend to others who are looking.

Meadow Woods in Bloomington, MN

I think they do a great job at Meadow Woods! The staff here is very friendly and easy to work with. They've been very accommodating in regards to some billing issues we've had in regards to getting funding with the VA straightened out. The facility itself is well kept and clean, and they do a great job looking after the people who live here!

Learn More About Independent Living in Minnetonka, MN

Minnetonka is an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise with miles of hiking trails, nearly 50 parks, and over 1,000 acres of public forest and green space. Its name comes from the Dakota-Sioux mni tanka meaning “great water” and reflects the city’s purity and natural appeal.

Independent living communities — also known simply as retirement communities — in Minnetonka are geared towards seniors who are able to live on their own, without daily assistance, and prefer to live among people their age. This usually means residents are self-sufficient and do not require hands-on care. Think of Minnetonka retirement communities as age-restricted (typically 55+) complexes, which provide organized activities, meal services, and transportation.
