Care Suites of Edina by Vivie

A close-knit assisted living and memory care community in Edina with 24-hour nursing support. Formerly Walker Methodist Care Suites of Edina prior to the Walker Methodist-to-Vivie corporate rebrand.

Care Suites of Edina by Vivie is a licensed assisted living and memory care community at 7400 York Avenue South in Edina.

The community offers standard assisted living with a private apartment, kitchenette, three chef-prepared meals daily, weekly housekeeping and laundry, and 24-hour nurse oversight; enhanced assisted living for residents needing more hands-on medical support; and memory care in a secure neighborhood with private studio apartments and life-enrichment programming for cognitive support. A respite-care program is also offered for short-term recovery stays or caregiver relief. Amenities described on the site include restaurant-style dining, group wellness classes, a fireside lounge, gardening areas, a sun porch, scheduled transportation, a salon, and specialized Parkinson's care programming.

Edina in context

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.

Questions families ask

Who pays for a nursing home stay right after a hospitalization in Minnesota?

Medicare Part A can cover a limited number of days of medically necessary skilled nursing facility care following a qualifying inpatient hospital stay of at least three days, subject to coinsurance after day 20. After Medicare coverage ends, the resident is privately responsible unless they qualify for Medical Assistance, at which point Minnesota's long-term-care Medicaid eligibility and spend-down rules apply.

What is a MnCHOICES assessment and why does it matter for hospital discharge planning?

MnCHOICES is Minnesota's standardized long-term-care needs assessment used to determine whether someone needs a nursing-facility level of care and is functionally eligible for programs like the Elderly Waiver or Alternative Care. Starting this assessment as early as possible during a hospital stay — rather than waiting until after discharge — can shorten the gap before waiver services begin.

My parent has been diagnosed with dementia — where do I start in the Twin Cities?

Start by calling the Senior LinkAge Line (1-800-333-2433), operated by Trellis, for care navigation and options counseling. If a memory care community is eventually needed, confirm it holds MDH's 'assisted living facility with dementia care' license (Minn. Stat. 144G.10, subd. 2(b)) — verify this directly through the MDH Health Care Provider Directory rather than relying on marketing materials.
