A senior living community in Minneapolis's East Lake Harriet neighborhood offering independent senior living, assisted living, and enhanced assisted living care suites. Formerly branded Walker Methodist Place; the parent organization rebranded to Vivie and the community now operates under this name.

Walker Place by Vivie occupies a long-standing site in Minneapolis's East Lake Harriet neighborhood and traces its roots to Walker Methodist, a senior-care organization operating in the Twin Cities since 1945. The organization completed a corporate rebrand to Vivie and the community's operator-published site now uses the Walker Place by Vivie name throughout, including on its location and care-options pages.

The community offers independent senior living apartments with full kitchens and included light cleaning and grounds maintenance; assisted living with medication management, 24-hour team support and a personal emergency pendant; and enhanced assisted living in a dedicated care-suites neighborhood with 24-hour licensed nursing and registered-dietitian support. On-site amenities described on the operator's page include the Pioneer Grill restaurant and bistro, a wellness center with on-site physical and occupational therapy, gardens, a library, an art studio, a chapel, and a salon. The site notes Walker Place is pet-welcome and that residents can transition to higher levels of care within the same building as needs change.

Minneapolis 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

Does Medicaid pay for the full cost of assisted living in Minnesota?

No. Medical Assistance, through the Elderly Waiver, pays only for the care-services portion delivered inside a licensed assisted living facility, never the room-and-board charge. Minnesota does not have a broad state subsidy that covers private-pay room and board, though very-low-income residents in certain licensed settings may qualify for a separate, narrower Housing Support benefit to help offset it.

What are Minnesota's income and asset limits for nursing home Medical Assistance in 2026?

Minnesota is a '209(b) medically needy' state with no fixed income cap — income above the Medically Needy Income Limit (commonly cited around $1,305/month for an individual in 2026) must be spent down on medical or care costs each budget period. Countable assets are generally limited to around $3,000 for a single applicant and $6,000 for a couple both applying, though these specific dollar figures are third-party sourced and should be reconfirmed against DHS's Eligibility Policy Manual before relying on them for a specific case.

How much can a healthy spouse keep if their partner needs Medicaid-covered nursing home care in Minnesota?

Under Minnesota's Community Spouse Asset Allowance (Minn. Stat. 256B.059), a non-applicant spouse can generally protect between $32,532 and $162,660 in assets (2026 federal figures), plus a Minimum Monthly Maintenance Needs Allowance of income ranging from about $2,705 to $4,066.50 per month, depending on their own income and housing costs.
