Assisted living is for someone who is largely independent but needs a reliable hand with the everyday things — bathing, dressing, medications, meals, getting to appointments. In Minnesota this is the Assisted Living Facility license, issued by the Minnesota Department of Health under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 144G — a single license category, not tiered by resident acuity or evacuation ability the way some states are.

Kenwood specifically
Because Kenwood has almost no multi-unit senior housing of its own, families researching care for a Kenwood resident typically look just east to Loring Park or south to the Uptown/Lowry Hill area, both a short drive or bus ride away.
What the contract does that the tour does not
The residency agreement decides what happens when things change: how care levels are reassessed and repriced, how much notice is required on either side, what the deposit covers and whether it is refundable.
