How the ranking works, and why being featured never moves a home up: how we read the record. Data reconciled 2026-09-15.
Questions families ask
How much does assisted living cost in Minnesota, MN?
Minnesota's median is $4,508 a month (Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2023, Minnesota, assisted living, monthly median). Plan for $4,500–$5,300 once medication management is added, plus a one-time move-in fee with a median near $3,000. No facility in Minnesota publishes its rate; the cost page shows how to get the real number.
How many assisted living facilities are in Minnesota?
2549 hold a Minnesota Department of Health assisted living licence as of 2026-09-15. 1545 are small homes of six beds or fewer and 610 carry the dementia-care designation. The full list is on this page.
Which assisted living in Minnesota allows pets?
The state does not publish pet policy, so Palmelle asks each operator. 0 operators across the 132 towns on this site have confirmed yes so far. Facilities that have not answered are shown without a pet line — never as a no.
What does "Not yet scored" mean?
MDH has not posted a licensing survey or a complaint finding for that licence. Most newly licensed homes read this way for their first year. It is not a bad sign and not a good one; here is what the score is built from.

Palmelle answers first; families who have been through it add what they learned, on palmelle.com.
How much does assisted living actually cost?Plan for 30% above whatever they quoted you. Otherwise the second year is the one that breaks the budget.
Will Medicare pay for assisted living?No. Not a dime. Plan for it now and the move stays your decision instead of a crisis.
Does Medicare pay for a nursing home?Yes · for up to 100 days, with conditions you'll probably miss. Then nothing. Get the discharge questions right and you keep the benefit.
What's the real difference between assisted living and a nursing home?Pick by what your parent actually needs at 3am · not by which lobby looked nicer.
When is it actually time for memory care?The right time is before the crisis that forces it. Move on your timeline, not the ER's.
How long do people actually live in memory care?Median 2·3 years. Plan finances for 5. The gap between those two numbers is the difference between staying in charge and ending up on Medicaid by surprise.
