In Minneapolis, MN, seniors have access to local offices and organizations that may help them obtain financial assistance for senior care, including:

The city of Minneapolis is consistently ranked as one of the most bikeable cities in the country, with miles of trails and bike-only lanes. Public transit is available through Minnesota Metro Transit, which operates bus lines all over the Twin Cities and the surrounding metropolitan area. The city also operates two light rails lines — the Green line, which runs from the business district of Minneapolis to St. Paul, and covers the University of Minnesota campus on both the east and west banks of the Mississippi, and the Blue line, which extends from downtown all the way to the southern suburb of Bloomington.

Minneapolis offers several health care providers for seniors wanting to be proactive about their health or for seniors seeking treatment for chronic conditions. The area has several hospitals, with the Hennepin County Medical Center as a prominent option.

Minneapolis is a vibrant city with a deeply rooted love for music, food, and the outdoors. Known for their “Minnesota nice” attitudes, the people of Minneapolis tend to be friendlier than your average city dweller. The city has a number of museums, one of the most interesting and unique of which is the Mill City Museum, located on the banks of the Mississippi River. The former site of a large flour mill owned by General Mills, this historical museum also has tons of outdoor walking paths that follow the banks of the Mississippi all throughout the Twin Cities.

For food, Nicollet Avenue, or ‘Eat Street,’ has tons of award-winning and affordable dining options that highlight the city’s diversity. Shopping enthusiasts will appreciate that the city runs a direct bus route to the Mall of America, one of the largest shopping centers in the world, with hundreds of retail stores. Minneapolis is also a treat for professional sports fans — local teams include the Vikings (NFL), the Wild (NHL), the Twins (MLB), and the Timberwolves (NBA).
