Assisted Living Report Card Preview

The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) emailed the authorized assisted living agent with a link to the Minnesota Assisted Living Report Card to those communities with active report card ratings. Not all communities have active report card ratings right now.

Minnesota Assisted Living Report Card

The Minnesota Board on Aging and DHS, in collaboration with the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and other partners, created a website to view Minnesota assisted living settings in the following areas:

• Resident quality of life
• Family satisfaction
• Resident health
• Safety
• Staffing

Assisted living settings without a score

If an assisted living has information missing or unavailable on the report card, it means one of these things occurred:

• The assisted living has not been open long enough to collect the information
• The assisted living did not participate in statewide surveys
• The assisted living could not get enough responses on statewide surveys to report reliable scores

Public report card availability

DHS plans to publicly announce the release of the assisted living report card next week. DHS will add more ratings as it collects data for additional assisted living communities. In the future, DHS intends to include ratings beyond satisfaction surveys, incorporating health, safety, and staffing measures. Future updates are coming regarding these measures.

DHS created a frequently asked questions document and an Assisted Living Report Card Ratings Guide. These will eventually be available on the website.
