Assisted Living Report Card

Minnesota developed an Assisted Living Report Card to measure and report on the quality of individual assisted living settings for housing and services paid for privately and through public programs. The report card is a joint effort between the Department of Human Services (DHS) Aging and Adult Services Division (AASD) and the Minnesota Board on Aging (MBA). DHS shares results on the Assisted Living Report Card website and provides updates as new data on quality become available.

Announcements

March 20, 2025: DHS published the 2025 quality of life survey ratings thresholds.

  • DHS will use thresholds based on 2024 quality of life survey results to assign the next round of resident quality of life and family satisfaction ratings. To view these thresholds, go to Quality of Life Survey Ratings Thresholds: 2025 (PDF) .
  • Vital Research, under contract with DHS, plans to begin the 2025 round of quality of life surveys in April 2025. DHS plans to publish the next round of resident quality of life and family satisfaction report card ratings in early 2026.

June 3, 2024: Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) surveys completed on or after July 1, 2024 will be used for new Assisted Living (AL) Report Card ratings.

Project Milestones

Advisory Group

An Advisory Group was formed to provide input on different aspects of the report card development and implementation process.

Upcoming Project Work 

Between February 2024 and February 2025, project work will include:

  • Conducting a third round of statewide resident and family survey data collection in assisted living facilities with the capacity to serve five or more residents.
  • Publishing resident quality of life and family satisfaction ratings on more assisted living facilities based on the third round of statewide resident and family surveys.
  • Finalizing additional measures of quality, including the resident health, safety, and staffing measures, based on state licensing inspections and other data sources.
