How Minnesota regulates this provider
Assisted living facilities in Minnesota are licensed by the Minnesota Department of Health under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 144G. A facility marketing memory care must hold the distinct "assisted living facility with dementia care" license under Minn. Stat. 144G.10, subd. 2(b), not merely provide a disclosure. Families can pull current license status and inspection history free through the MDH Health Care Provider Directory.
Evaluating a memory care community
- Ask to see the community's MDH license for "assisted living facility with dementia care" and the written pre-admission disclosure required under Minn. Stat. 325F.72.
- Ask how exits are secured, what happens when a resident tries a door, and when an elopement last occurred here.
- Ask the overnight staffing ratio inside the secured unit specifically, not the building-wide daytime figure.
Maple Grove in context
Maple Grove is anchored by Maple Grove Hospital, a joint venture between North Memorial Health and Fairview Health Services that opened in 2009, and the city's senior housing supply has expanded quickly alongside it, with several assisted living and memory care communities built within a mile or two of the hospital campus. As one of the fastest-growing suburbs in the northwest metro, Maple Grove's housing stock is dominated by newer single-family and townhome development from the 1990s through today. The city sits along Interstate 94 and is served by Metro Transit express routes into downtown Minneapolis.
