Where is Cerenity Residence Marian of St. Paul, and what else is licensed nearby?

Cerenity Residence Marian of St. Paul is at 225 Frank Street, St. Paul, Minnesota 55106, in Ramsey County, where families are served by Trellis, the metro's Area Agency on Aging, through the Senior LinkAge Line at 1-800-333-2433.

St. Paul's senior-care landscape is shaped by two hospital systems headquartered inside the city: HealthPartners' Regions Hospital downtown and Allina Health's United Hospital on the bluff above the Mississippi in the West End. Many of the city's senior communities occupy converted Victorian-era mansions and early-20th-century apartment buildings in neighborhoods like Summit-University and Mac-Groveland, giving it an older, more architecturally distinct building stock than most of its suburbs. The METRO Green Line runs the length of University Avenue, connecting St. Paul's senior housing corridor directly to Minneapolis. Ramsey County is anchored by HealthPartners' Regions Hospital in St. Paul and M Health Fairview's St. Joseph's and St. John's hospitals; ask how the community handles rides to specialist appointments.
