Eagan seniors have a lot of options for getting out and enjoying their community. Local senior-friendly events include movies in the park, the food truck festival and a fall harvest festival that’s ideal for attending with visiting grandchildren.
Assisted living costs an average of $4,797 a month in Eagan, according to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey. This is more than 10% higher than both the national median cost for similar services and the state average cost for Minnesota.

Minnesota seniors in need of financial aid for assisted living costs may be covered through Medical Assistance (MA), the state’s Medicaid option. In addition to this plan, Medicaid offers three waiver programs. Seniors who are not qualified for Medicaid may be able to receive funding through another state program such as the Minnesota Consumer Support Grant (CSG).
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Minnesota page.
While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:
