HomeDirectoryAssisted LivingHavenwood of Minnetonka

A rental senior living community offering independent living, assisted living, enhanced assisted living, and memory care, managed by LCS, with no large entrance or buy-in fee.

Havenwood of Minnetonka is a senior living community offering independent living, assisted living, enhanced assisted living, and memory care. The operator describes enhanced assisted living as a step between standard assisted living and skilled nursing, for residents who need more support but aren't ready for a nursing facility.

A distinguishing point on Havenwood's own site is its rental model: residents pay no large entrance or buy-in fee typical of continuing-care retirement communities, and instead pay month to month while still getting priority access to higher levels of care as needs change. The community describes itself as having an intimate, tight-knit neighborhood feel. Havenwood of Minnetonka is managed by LCS (Life Care Services), credited in the site footer alongside a matching Havenwood of Maple Grove property under the same management company.

Minnetonka in context

Minnetonka's senior communities cluster around Ridgedale Center and along Highway 7 and Interstate 494, with hospital-level care typically drawing residents to Methodist Hospital in neighboring St. Louis Park or Fairview Southdale in Edina. The under-construction METRO Green Line Extension (Southwest LRT), targeted to open in 2027, will add two stations in Minnetonka, which is already influencing where new senior housing projects near Opus and Shady Oak are being sited. Much of the city's housing stock dates from the 1960s-1980s suburban boom, with a growing number of newer communities near Lake Minnetonka's east side.

Questions families ask

Can a hospital discharge my parent to a nursing home against our wishes?

A hospital cannot force a specific placement, but it can determine a patient is medically ready for discharge and is not obligated to keep someone hospitalized once acute care is no longer needed; families can request the hospital's list of options and, for Medicare patients, invoke formal discharge appeal rights if they believe the discharge itself is unsafe or premature.

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.
