“I really like my apt, my family is much nearer now and I am making friends and getting involved in community as I am in independent living”
“I moved into Realife Cooperative in February of 2025. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made. My neighbors are so friendly and helpful. I love not having to maintain a house and yard. I am able to have my dog with me. I feel safe and there's never a dull moment here. Cooperative living is the way to go!”

How families pay for senior living in Minnesota
Most Minnesota families start by paying privately, drawing on savings, retirement income, and often the proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance, when a parent or spouse has a policy, can also help cover the monthly cost of assisted living, memory care, or independent living. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that adds a monthly payment on top of a regular VA pension for those who need help with daily activities. It is worth checking early, since VA claims can take time to process.

The best-rated list ranks communities by average family rating weighted by how many families have reviewed each one, so a 4.9 from three reviews does not outrank a 4.7 from two hundred. No community pays to appear in the best-rated list or in these figures; sponsored and partner listings in the directory results are marked as such. Figures refresh as listings and reviews change; the written summary was last revised September 25, 2026.
