Two kinds of assisted living in Minneapolis
16larger communities (17+ residents): apartments, a dining room, activities staff, often memory care on site; 12 have 50 or more residents.
162small residential homes (16 or fewer): a house in a neighborhood, a few caregivers, home-style meals, often a lower monthly price and a higher staff-to-resident ratio.
Both are licensed by Minnesota as assisted living. Larger communities suit people who want social life and on-site services; small homes suit people who do better with quiet, familiar routines, including many people with dementia. Minnesota words these licenses as “Assisted Living Facility” (140), “Provisional Assisted Living Facility” (29), “Assisted Living Facility Dementia Care” (9).

How much does assisted living cost in Minneapolis?
The median cost of assisted living in Minnesota is $6,573 a month ($78,876 a year), above the national median of $6,200. That’s CareScout’s 2025 survey, collected July to November 2025. 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.

Medicaid doesn't pay rent or meals in assisted living. Most states offer a Medicaid waiver or program that can pay for care services at participating communities for people who qualify; not every community takes it, so ask each one. Minnesota's Medicaid agency or your local Area Agency on Aging can tell you what's available.
