Millstream Commons

Millstream Commons is a licensed assisted living facility located in Northfield, Minnesota. Assisted Living Facilities in Minnesota operate under the Housing with Services registration and Assisted Living licensure law (Minnesota Statutes, chapter 144G).

Millstream Commons has a licensed capacity of 49 residents.

Some facilities offer specialized memory care.

Who We Serve: Assisted Living Facilities serve older adults and people with disabilities who need help with daily activities but do not require the 24-hour skilled nursing care provided in nursing homes.

Licensing: Typically licensed by the Minnesota Department of Health under comprehensive 2019 assisted living regulations.

Payment Options: In Minnesota, Medicaid may help pay for assisted living through the Elderly Waiver (EW). Eligibility is based on both financial and functional criteria. Contact Minnesota Department of Human Services or visit https://mn.gov/dhs/people-we-serve/seniors/services/ to learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply. Wait lists are common for waiver programs, so applying early is recommended.

Families researching assisted living options should verify the facility's current license status, review any inspection reports, and schedule a visit to assess whether the environment and services meet their loved one's needs.
