Two kinds of assisted living in Faribault
Both are licensed by Minnesota as assisted living.

How much does assisted living cost in Faribault?

If more care is needed: nursing home costs in Minnesota, with CareScout medians and the private-pay rates nursing homes publish. Small residential homes often cost less than larger communities, though care needs, room type and services move the price more than the building does.
Medicare does not pay for assisted living. People pay from savings and income, long-term care insurance, or VA Aid and Attendance (up to $29,093 a year for a veteran in 2026), and some qualify for Medicaid help with care costs at communities that accept it. Who actually pays for long-term care.
