Questions families ask

How does a nursing home differ from assisted living in Minnesota?

Nursing homes provide 24-hour skilled nursing care for residents with significant medical needs and are licensed and regulated separately from assisted living, with their own Nursing Home Report Card. Assisted living, licensed under Chapter 144G, serves residents who need help with daily activities and some health-related services but not continuous skilled nursing oversight, and is generally less expensive.

Independent living vs. assisted living vs. memory care — how do I know which one my parent needs?

Independent living is unlicensed housing with no care services; assisted living is a licensed setting (Chapter 144G) providing help with daily activities and some health services; memory care is the separately licensed 'assisted living facility with dementia care' category for residents needing secured, dementia-specific care. The right fit depends on a functional assessment of daily living needs, cognitive status, and safety risk, not just preference.

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.
