Minnesotans shopping for assisted living can now turn to a valuable new resource for help. The state’s new Assisted Living Report Card allows consumers to look up assisted living residences and find comparative ratings based on resident and family surveys, as well as ratings based on state inspections. According to Commissioner Jodi Harpstead, “looking for an assisted living residence for yourself or a loved one can be stressful and challenging and it is our hope that this tool will help people make this important choice, recognizing there are many factors to consider.” Harpstead went on to say, nearly 63,000 Minnesotans live in more than 2,200 licensed assisted living facilities across the state. This newly launched web tool is a work in progress. The Assisted Living Report Card currently features ratings for about 20% of the state’s assisted living facilities – focusing on the largest facilities, which are home to almost half of all Minnesotans who use assisted living. The report card will expand early next year, adding more facilities and ratings based on the Minnesota Department of Health’s licensing surveys and investigations.
