Edina in context

Edina is home to M Health Fairview Southdale Hospital, one of the busier hospitals in the southwest metro, and its senior housing stock skews toward higher-end independent and assisted living clustered near the Southdale Center and 50th & France retail districts. The city's well-established single-family housing stock, largely built between the 1940s and 1960s, has made downsizing from a family home into nearby senior living a common local pattern. Edina has no light-rail station of its own but sits close to bus connections into Minneapolis.

Questions families ask

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.

What does nursing home care cost in Minnesota compared to assisted living?

Third-party sources citing the CareScout survey put a Minnesota nursing home semi-private room at roughly $12,167/month and a private room at roughly $14,068/month, both well above the roughly $6,573/month cited for private one-bedroom assisted living — though all these figures are unverified against CareScout's own primary tables and should be confirmed before publishing or budgeting decisions.

How does VA Aid and Attendance help pay for assisted living or memory care?

VA Aid and Attendance is a needs-based pension add-on for wartime veterans and surviving spouses who need help with daily activities; as of the December 1, 2025 rate year, a veteran alone can receive up to $29,093/year (about $2,424/month) and a surviving spouse alone up to $18,697/year (about $1,558/month), subject to a net worth limit of $163,699 excluding a primary residence and one vehicle.
