Several older apartment buildings in this corridor have been converted or repurposed into assisted living and memory care communities over the past two decades, taking advantage of existing multi-story structures rather than new construction.

Questions families ask

My parent's money is running out — what are our options in Minnesota?

The Elderly Waiver (for those already Medical Assistance eligible) and Alternative Care (a state-funded bridge program for those not yet eligible) are Minnesota's two main HCBS programs for seniors approaching or facing a financial shortfall, both covering care services but not room and board. No confirmed waitlist status for either program was found in this research — check current availability with DHS or a county human services agency.

My spouse needs more care than I can provide at home — how do I protect our finances?

Minnesota's Community Spouse Asset Allowance (Minn. Stat. 256B.059) lets a healthy spouse protect between roughly $32,532 and $162,660 in assets, plus a Minimum Monthly Maintenance Needs Allowance of income between about $2,705 and $4,066.50 per month, when a spouse enters Medicaid-covered long-term care — figures that should be reconfirmed for the current year with a county financial worker or elder-law attorney.

My parent fell and can no longer live alone — what should we do first?

Start with a call to the Senior LinkAge Line (1-800-333-2433) to request a MnCHOICES assessment, which determines whether a nursing-facility level of care is needed and opens the door to Elderly Waiver-funded in-home services, adult foster care, or licensed assisted living, depending on the assessed level of need and the family's preference.
