HomeDirectoryNursing HomeJones-Harrison Senior Living

A nonprofit senior living community overlooking Cedar Lake in Minneapolis, founded in 1888, offering assisted living, memory care, transitional/rehabilitation care and 24-hour long-term nursing care; now managed by Ebenezer.

Jones-Harrison Senior Living has operated on the same Cedar Lake-adjacent campus in Minneapolis since 1888, making it one of the oldest continuously operating senior communities in the city. The organization's own site lists its care continuum as assisted living, memory care, long-term care, and transitional/rehabilitation care with 24-hour nursing. As a private, nonprofit organization run by a volunteer board, Jones-Harrison reports more than 46,000 annual volunteer hours and roughly 220 resident activities.

The transitional care unit is aimed at short-term rehabilitation after a hospital stay, while the long-term care center provides ongoing skilled nursing for residents with complex medical needs. Jones-Harrison is now part of Ebenezer, described on the site as Minnesota's largest senior housing operator, which provides management and clinical oversight while Jones-Harrison retains its own nonprofit board and identity. The campus setting and lake views are repeatedly emphasized in the site's own marketing copy.

How Minnesota regulates this provider

Nursing homes in Minnesota are licensed under the separate Minnesota Statutes Chapter 144A, and carry a federal CMS Care Compare star rating in addition to state licensure. Families can pull current license status and inspection history free through the MDH Health Care Provider Directory.

Evaluating a skilled nursing facility

  • Pull both records: your state health department's survey history and the CMS Care Compare rating.
  • Ask whether the stay is expected to be short-term rehabilitation or long-term care, and what happens when Medicare coverage for rehabilitation ends.
  • Ask about therapy intensity and who provides it, since post-acute outcomes track closely with it.

Minneapolis in context

As the region's hub, Minneapolis carries the metro's deepest bench of hospital-affiliated senior care, anchored by Allina Health's Abbott Northwestern Hospital in the Whittier neighborhood and the University of Minnesota Medical Center / M Health Fairview campus along the Mississippi riverfront. The city's light-rail spine, where the METRO Blue and Green Lines converge downtown, puts a large share of its assisted living and memory care buildings within walking distance of a train stop, a rarity in the Twin Cities. Building stock ranges from converted early-1900s apartment blocks in neighborhoods like Loring Park to newer high-rise senior communities downtown and near the Chain of Lakes.

Questions families ask

Who regulates home care agencies that send caregivers into a senior's home in the Twin Cities?

Home care providers in Minnesota are licensed and regulated by MDH, and complaints against a licensed home care agency go to the same Office of Health Facility Complaints line as facility complaints: 651-201-4200 (metro) or 1-800-369-7994 (greater Minnesota). No separate, dedicated home-care-only complaint hotline exists.

What is the Elderly Waiver and what does it cover?

The Elderly Waiver (EW) is Minnesota's Medicaid home- and community-based services waiver for seniors 65+ who are Medical Assistance eligible and assessed via MnCHOICES as needing a nursing-facility level of care. It covers personal care assistance, homemaker services, home health aide, case management, adult day services, respite care, home-delivered meals, and — inside licensed assisted living — 'customized living' or '24-hour customized living' service packages, but it never pays room and board.

What is Alternative Care and how is it different from the Elderly Waiver?

Alternative Care (AC) is a Minnesota state-funded program — no federal Medicaid match — for seniors who need Elderly-Waiver-equivalent services but aren't yet financially eligible for Medical Assistance. It uses largely the same service array and cost cap as EW and is designed to delay or prevent a Medicaid spend-down or nursing home placement, while EW itself requires the person to already be MA-eligible.
