Is Runnstone Senior Living licensed by the Minnesota Department of Health?

Yes. Runnstone Senior Living holds an MDH Assisted Living Facility license, number 426356, for 350 residents; the current license period runs from August 15, 2026 to August 14, 2027.

This is the base assisted living license, not the dementia care category, so the building may not operate a secured dementia unit.

What do MDH survey and complaint records show for Runnstone Senior Living?

MDH has posted 2 evaluation surveys for Runnstone Senior Living, most recently resolved on October 16, 2024, along with 4 complaint investigations by the Office of Health Facility Complaints, 1 of them substantiated.

What does Runnstone Senior Living report about staffing and payment in its state disclosure?

In its UDALSA disclosure on file with MDH, dated 08/14/2026, Runnstone Senior Living reported typically scheduling these numbers of unlicensed direct-care staff: 7 on the day shift, 6 on the evening shift, 2 on the night shift.

Shift counts are building-wide and self-reported; divide by the 350 licensed spaces only as a rough guide, and ask how many staff work inside any secured unit.

Does Runnstone Senior Living provide memory care?

Runnstone Senior Living holds the base assisted living license, not the dementia care category, so it may not operate a secured memory care unit or market specialized dementia care under Minnesota law.

Residents with early dementia can live in a base-license building, but if wandering or exit-seeking begins, a move to a dementia care licensee may be needed. See the memory care directory for every metro building that holds that license.

Where is Runnstone Senior Living, and what else is licensed nearby?

Runnstone Senior Living is at 1509 10th Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55404, in Hennepin County, where families are served by Trellis, the metro's Area Agency on Aging, through the Senior LinkAge Line at 1-800-333-2433.

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. Hennepin County holds most of the metro's major hospitals, including Allina's Abbott Northwestern, M Health Fairview's University of Minnesota Medical Center, HealthPartners Methodist Hospital in St. Louis Park and North Memorial in Robbinsdale; ask how the community handles rides to specialist appointments.

How should a family evaluate Runnstone Senior Living?

With 350 licensed spaces, Runnstone Senior Living is large enough that staffing can vary floor to floor and shift to shift. Ask for the caregiver-to-resident ratio on the wing your parent would live in, both day and overnight, and how many aides are awake after 11 p.m.

Check the Minnesota Assisted Living Report Card, which DHS and MDH publish with resident and family survey results for many facilities, alongside the complaint record above. Visit at least twice, once unannounced near a mealtime, and ask to speak with a current resident's family.

Who do you call with a concern about care at Runnstone Senior Living?
