The Richfield market specifically

Richfield, a small first-ring suburb wedged between Minneapolis and Bloomington, draws on both cities for hospital care, with residents typically using Abbott Northwestern to the north or Fairview Southdale to the west. Its senior housing stock includes some of the metro's older assisted living conversions, reflecting Richfield's status as one of the first fully built-out suburbs in the 1950s, alongside newer communities added near the Cedar Avenue corridor. The city sits directly along the METRO Blue Line's path between Minneapolis and the airport, giving several of its senior buildings walkable light-rail access.

Richfield is commonly compared to Bloomington and south Minneapolis; it's frequently cited as one of the more affordable options among the inner-ring suburbs, trading a smaller footprint and older buildings for a lower price point and central location.

Questions families ask

Are there hidden fees I should watch for when comparing assisted living communities?

Yes — most Twin Cities assisted living communities charge a base rent plus separate, tiered fees for higher levels of personal care, medication management, and sometimes a one-time community or move-in fee, so the advertised 'starting at' rate rarely reflects the total monthly cost for a resident who needs meaningful assistance.

Does home care cost less than assisted living in the Twin Cities?

It depends heavily on how many hours of care are needed — a verified current Minnesota non-medical home care hourly rate could not be confirmed against a primary source, but 24/7 in-home care, once multiple caregiver shifts are factored in, is typically far more expensive than a private-pay assisted living apartment, even though a few hours a week of home care is usually cheaper than a full move.

What is Housing Support and how does it help with assisted living costs?

Housing Support (formerly Group Residential Housing) is a narrower Minnesota state supplement, separate from the Elderly Waiver, that can help very-low-income residents in certain licensed settings offset room-and-board costs — something the Elderly Waiver itself is not permitted to pay for.

What does the Minnesota long-term care ombudsman do?

The Minnesota Office of Ombudsman for Long-Term Care (OOLTC), part of the Minnesota Board on Aging, investigates and helps resolve complaints for residents of nursing homes, assisted living facilities (including memory care), and board-and-lodging settings statewide, and advocates for residents' rights. Reach OOLTC at 1-800-657-3591 or 651-431-2555.
