If you’re considering moving your loved one into a Minneapolis nursing home, our senior living advisors can help. The term “nursing home” is often used interchangeably with assisted living or other senior housing options; but a nursing home is a skilled nursing facility for individuals with serious, debilitating short- or long-term health issues. So even the best nursing homes in Minneapolis, MN may not be right for seniors who don’t require round-the-clock care.
We can help you determine if a skilled nursing facility in Minneapolis or another care type is right for you. Browse 352 senior living options near you to see the variety available, or contact us to learn more about elderly homes in Minneapolis.
We are also serving Nursing Homes facilities in surrounding neighborhoods like Lyndale, Minnehaha and Lynnhurst.
You may also consider nearby communities such as Audubon, Burnsville or Circle Pines.
Chandler Place has great activities. It's a friendly community, and my loved one feels very welcomed. She likes the food overall, but some things are a little overcooked, especially the fish. But they're really trying to get new meals in there. They asked for the residents' input, and they are already making new things that were suggested, which is great.

The city of Minneapolis is consistently ranked as one of the most bikeable cities in the country, with miles of trails and bike-only lanes. Public transit is available through Minnesota Metro Transit, which operates bus lines all over the Twin Cities and the surrounding metropolitan area. The city also operates two light rails lines — the Green line, which runs from the business district of Minneapolis to St. Paul, and covers the University of Minnesota campus on both the east and west banks of the Mississippi, and the Blue line, which extends from downtown all the way to the southern suburb of Bloomington.
Minneapolis offers several health care providers for seniors wanting to be proactive about their health or for seniors seeking treatment for chronic conditions. The area has several hospitals, with the Hennepin County Medical Center as a prominent option.
Minneapolis is a vibrant city with a deeply rooted love for music, food, and the outdoors. Known for their “Minnesota nice” attitudes, the people of Minneapolis tend to be friendlier than your average city dweller. The city has a number of museums, one of the most interesting and unique of which is the Mill City Museum, located on the banks of the Mississippi River. The former site of a large flour mill owned by General Mills, this historical museum also has tons of outdoor walking paths that follow the banks of the Mississippi all throughout the Twin Cities.
For food, Nicollet Avenue, or ‘Eat Street,’ has tons of award-winning and affordable dining options that highlight the city's diversity. Shopping enthusiasts will appreciate that the city runs a direct bus route to the Mall of America, one of the largest shopping centers in the world, with hundreds of retail stores. Minneapolis is also a treat for professional sports fans — local teams include the Vikings (NFL), the Wild (NHL), the Twins (MLB), and the Timberwolves (NBA).
Nursing homes, also called skilled nursing facilities, provide long-term care for seniors with significant physical or mental health conditions, and short-term care to people recovering from an injury or hospital stay. Nursing homes provide personal assistance and medical care from licensed professionals. Services in skilled nursing facilities often include:
Nursing homes — also called convalescent homes or skilled nursing facilities — are intended for seniors who require 24-hour monitoring and medical assistance. These communities are designed to promote independence among seniors who require constant nursing care to perform activities of daily living (ADLs), but do not require hospital-level care.
The median monthly cost of a private room in a Minneapolis nursing home is about $11,452, and the median monthly cost of a private room in a nursing home in the state of Minnesota is around $11,037, according to Genworth.
For this type of elder care, Minneapolis, Minnesota offers many great options, and A Place for Mom can help you find the right one.
