The Pines

The Pines is a licensed housing with services located in Richfield, Minnesota. Minnesota Housing with Services establishments are registered establishments that provide or arrange for supportive or healthcare services. This is separate from but often combined with Assisted Living facility licensure.

Services may include assistance with daily living activities, medication management, health monitoring, meals, housekeeping, personal care, and coordination of healthcare services. The specific services are determined by individual service agreements.

Who We Serve: Housing with Services serves adults who need varying levels of assistance and wish to receive services in their own apartment or living unit rather than in a traditional care facility.

Licensing: Registered with the Minnesota Department of Health under Minnesota Statutes, section 144D.

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.
