What to Consider About Assisted Living in Grand Rapids

Grand Rapids, Minnesota lies just three miles north of the Twin Cities on the Mississippi River. This city is well-known for being the birthplace of the famous Judy Garland and hosts a museum in her honor. In addition to its unique American history, Grand Rapids is home to 12 Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs), and an additional five more in the surrounding area.

In Grand Rapids, and throughout Minnesota, ALFs are known as housing services are defined by the state as congregate living facilities which offer 24-hour supervision and personal care or nursing services. The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is responsible for licensing and regulating these facilities.

  • Grand Rapids is home to lush scenery and very comfortable summer weather. With a high of 79 degrees Fahrenheit in July, seniors can enjoy the outdoors in comfort.

  • The city of Grand Rapids is bursting with things to do. Seniors can visit the Judy Garland Museum to learn about the famous actress’ birthplace and early life. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the Forest History Center and Scenic State Park are good options.
