READ MOREAssisted Living Licensure is the branch of the Health Regulation Division of the Minnesota Department of Health responsible for licensing assisted living facilities. The branch has the authority to enforce license conditions on facilities that fail to comply. Consequently, it can investigate complaints about facilities, conduct unannounced inspections and revoke licenses from facilities that repeatedly fail to comply with regulations.
