What to Consider About Assisted Living in Cold Spring
Cold Spring has been dubbed "the best-kept secret in Minnesota” and was given its name in 1852 in reference to the numerous natural springs found throughout the region. It is home to over 4,000 people, over 20% of whom are aged 65 and over.
In Cold Spring, assisted living is not recognized as a distinct type of facility by the state. Instead, facilities are registered with the Minnesota Department of Health as housing with services establishments, and they are categorized as either Basic or Comprehensive home care providers. There are two assisted living facilities in Cold Spring and three more in the surrounding region.
