HomeNeighborhoodsBryn MawrAssisted Living

Assisted living is for someone who is largely independent but needs a reliable hand with the everyday things — bathing, dressing, medications, meals, getting to appointments. In Minnesota this is the Assisted Living Facility license, issued by the Minnesota Department of Health under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 144G — a single license category, not tiered by resident acuity or evacuation ability the way some states are.

Bryn Mawr specifically

Because Bryn Mawr has little dedicated senior housing of its own, families researching care for a Bryn Mawr resident typically look toward downtown Minneapolis or nearby Golden Valley, both a short drive away and each offering a larger supply of assisted living and memory care communities.

What the contract does that the tour does not

The residency agreement decides what happens when things change: how care levels are reassessed and repriced, how much notice is required on either side, what the deposit covers and whether it is refundable.

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.
