Counts reflect what each provider has told us or what appears in public data, last reviewed August 2026. "Matched to an MDH licence" means we found the provider in the Minnesota Department of Health licensed-facility register; the licence number itself is shown on verified listings, and you can look any provider up yourself at MDH. A "checkable registry ID" is a federal NPI or CMS certification number — neither is a state licence. Always confirm current licensure with MDH before you sign anything.

Before you call anyone in Saint Louis Park
- What assisted living actually costs in Minnesota — Minnesota's median was $69,900 a year in the most recent survey that published state figures. Other sites quote widely different numbers, mostly because they measure different things. Here is which figure to trust and what you will actually be quoted.
- How to pay for long-term care in Minnesota — Medicare pays for almost none of it. Minnesota's real payers are private funds, Medical Assistance, the Elderly Waiver, Alternative Care, long-term care insurance and VA benefits — and four of them refuse to pay room and board. Here is the matrix.
- How to check a Minnesota care provider’s licence, inspections and ratings — Minnesota publishes more free oversight data than almost any state — and nobody explains which tool answers which question. Here is the routing table: who licenses what, where to look, what each tool cannot tell you, and why a good facility may show no rating at all.
- The Minnesota Elderly Waiver, explained for families — Who qualifies, the $3,000 asset limit, exactly what DHS will pay per month by case mix, how long the application takes, and the room-and-board rule that surprises almost everyone.

Who pays for hospice care in Minnesota?
Most hospice care is paid through the Medicare hospice benefit. Minnesota's Medical Assistance state plan hospice benefit follows the same rules and regulations as the Medicare hospice benefit. Because the specifics of eligibility, what is covered, and any copayments change, confirm the current terms with Medicare directly or ask the hospice to walk you through what your plan covers before you enrol.

Who licenses hospice providers in Minnesota?
The Minnesota Department of Health licenses hospice providers under Minnesota Statutes sections 144A.75 to 144A.755. A residential hospice facility does not need a separate MDH facility licence, but the services delivered inside it must be provided by an MDH-licensed hospice provider. Ask any hospice for its MDH licence and verify it before you sign.

Does choosing hospice mean giving up all treatment?
No. Hospice shifts the goal from curing the illness to comfort and quality of life, and you can leave hospice at any time if your situation or your goals change. Palliative care — symptom and comfort management — is available alongside curative treatment and does not require a hospice election.

Where does hospice care happen?
Most hospice care in Minnesota is delivered wherever the person already lives — at home, in assisted living, or in a nursing home. Some organisations also operate residential hospice facilities for people who cannot stay at home; a 2021 legislative review counted 15 such facilities in Minnesota.
