Top Senior Living Communities + Care

For your loved one who needs a little extra care, you won't settle for anything less than the best. Often, that means taking on additional responsibilities yourself, from managing finances to preparing meals and doing routine housework. But when it's time to pass their care into the hands of trained, trusted professionals, turn to Mpls.St.Pauľs first annual list of premier retirement communities and care resources in the Twin Cities.

To compile the lists that follow, we worked with DataJoe, a national quantitative research firm that conducts local research and verifies every listing. The care communities and resources considered for this list are evaluated on availability, federal government ratings, frequency of negative reports to the state regulatory agency, and community perception. Inclusion in the list is based on information gathered in independent research. Efforts were made to ensure a fair, multifaceted research process. The facilities included meet our thresholds with the highest ratings and the smallest proportion of negative reports/press. While many good and effective facilities may not be shown in this representative list, which is a sampling of the huge array of options found within the region, this is a good place to begin your search. Those noted in this list did not pay to be included.
