Bloomington in context

Bloomington's senior-care market benefits from its location next to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and the Mall of America, which has drawn a cluster of newer assisted living and memory care buildings along the American Boulevard corridor. HealthPartners and Fairview-affiliated clinics serve the city, and residents typically use Abbott Northwestern or Fairview Southdale in neighboring Edina for hospital-level care. The METRO Blue Line and Red Line bus rapid transit both run through Bloomington, giving car-free residents access to both downtown Minneapolis and the southern suburbs.

Questions families ask

Assisted living vs. in-home care — which is better for a parent who wants to stay independent?

In-home care lets a parent remain in their own home with support delivered through the Elderly Waiver (personal care, homemaker, home health aide) or private-pay caregivers, while assisted living moves a parent into a licensed community with built-in staffing, meals, and social programming. The better fit depends on the level and predictability of care needed, home safety, and cost once care hours increase significantly.

What license does an assisted living facility need in Minnesota?

Every assisted living community in the Twin Cities must hold an Assisted Living Facility license issued by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) under Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 144G. This has been mandatory statewide since August 1, 2021, replacing the older, looser 'Housing with Services' registration model. Facilities must also employ an assisted living director credentialed by the Board of Executives for Long Term Services and Supports.

Does Minnesota require a special license for memory care?

Yes. Any community with a secured dementia care unit must hold the 'assisted living facility with dementia care' license category under Minn. Stat. 144G.10, subd. 2(b) — a base assisted living license is not enough. That license carries two extra legal requirements: dementia-specific staff training under Minn. Stat. 144G.83, and a mandatory written pre-admission disclosure under Minn. Stat. 325F.72.
