Maplewood in context

As the region's hub, Minneapolis carries the metro's deepest bench of hospital-affiliated senior care, anchored by Allina Health's Abbott Northwestern Hospital in the Whittier neighborhood and the University of Minnesota Medical Center / M Health Fairview campus along the Mississippi riverfront. The city's light-rail spine, where the METRO Blue and Green Lines converge downtown, puts a large share of its assisted living and memory care buildings within walking distance of a train stop, a rarity in the Twin Cities. Building stock ranges from converted early-1900s apartment blocks in neighborhoods like Loring Park to newer high-rise senior communities downtown and near the Chain of Lakes.

Questions families ask

Am I a mandated reporter if I suspect a neighbor or relative in senior care is being neglected?

Minnesota law designates certain professionals — including facility staff, health care providers, social workers, and others working with vulnerable adults — as mandated reporters required to report suspected maltreatment to MAARC (1-844-880-1574). Family members and concerned neighbors are not legally mandated but are strongly encouraged to report suspected abuse or neglect through the same statewide line.

What happens after I call MAARC to report suspected abuse?

MAARC serves as the statewide intake point; after taking the report, it routes the case to the appropriate county or Tribal social services agency (or to MDH or another licensing board, if the concern involves a licensed provider's compliance) for investigation. MAARC itself does not conduct the on-the-ground investigation — that happens at the county level.

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.
