An advanced assisted living and memory care community that allows residents to age in place within the same unit as care needs change.

White Pine Senior Living of Mendota Heights offers assisted living and memory care described by the operator as advanced, meaning higher-acuity support is available without requiring a move to a different building. The site specifically highlights the community's ability to let residents age in place within their own unit even as care needs increase.

White Pine's own site frames its approach around promoting independence, dignity, and quality of life through both assisted living support and specialized Alzheimer's and dementia care in the memory care program. The operator publishes two standing guarantees directly on the page: a 30-day money-back service guarantee plus $1,000 if the community doesn't meet a new resident's needs, and a promise not to raise rent within the first six months of residency. The community is one of several White Pine Advanced Assisted Living and Memory Care locations across the Twin Cities metro.

Mendota Heights in context

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.

Questions families ask

How do I apply for Medical Assistance long-term care or a waiver in the Twin Cities?

Start by contacting your county human services agency (Hennepin, Ramsey, Dakota, Anoka, or Washington County) or calling the Senior LinkAge Line at 1-800-333-2433 to request a MnCHOICES long-term-care needs assessment, which determines functional eligibility, alongside a separate financial application for Medical Assistance.

Does Medicaid pay for the full cost of assisted living in Minnesota?

No. Medical Assistance, through the Elderly Waiver, pays only for the care-services portion delivered inside a licensed assisted living facility, never the room-and-board charge. Minnesota does not have a broad state subsidy that covers private-pay room and board, though very-low-income residents in certain licensed settings may qualify for a separate, narrower Housing Support benefit to help offset it.

What are Minnesota's income and asset limits for nursing home Medical Assistance in 2026?

Minnesota is a '209(b) medically needy' state with no fixed income cap — income above the Medically Needy Income Limit (commonly cited around $1,305/month for an individual in 2026) must be spent down on medical or care costs each budget period. Countable assets are generally limited to around $3,000 for a single applicant and $6,000 for a couple both applying, though these specific dollar figures are third-party sourced and should be reconfirmed against DHS's Eligibility Policy Manual before relying on them for a specific case.
