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.

The Edina market specifically
Edina is home to M Health Fairview Southdale Hospital, one of the busier hospitals in the southwest metro, and its senior housing stock skews toward higher-end independent and assisted living clustered near the Southdale Center and 50th & France retail districts. The city's well-established single-family housing stock, largely built between the 1940s and 1960s, has made downsizing from a family home into nearby senior living a common local pattern. Edina has no light-rail station of its own but sits close to bus connections into Minneapolis.
Families comparing Edina typically weigh it against Minnetonka and St. Louis Park; Edina generally sits at the higher end of the metro's price range for senior living, reflecting its property values, while St. Louis Park and Richfield are often suggested as more moderately priced alternatives just a few miles away.
Visit twice, at different hours
A scheduled mid-morning tour and an unannounced 7 p.m. drop-in can look like two different buildings. Evening and overnight are when staffing thins and when families are most often surprised.
Eat a meal there. Talk to a resident's family member in the parking lot rather than one the community introduces you to.
