In 2026, Assisted Living Locators Minneapolis & St. Paul helped hundreds of families find the best senior living options across the Twin Cities. Selecting the right assisted living community can be overwhelming — with so many options, amenities, and care levels, making the right choice is often confusing. That’s why we are proud to share our annual Family Choice Awards, highlighting communities that stand out for their exceptional care, compassionate staff, and resident satisfaction.
The Family Choice Awards are based on rigorous criteria, including quality of care, resident happiness, staff-to-resident ratios, safety measures, community engagement, and overall environment. Our team personally visits each community, speaks with residents, and evaluates each aspect to ensure families receive an honest and comprehensive assessment.
From welcoming dining rooms and beautifully maintained living spaces to robust activity programs and transportation services, these top-selected communities make a real difference in seniors’ daily lives. Whether your loved one needs independent living, assisted living, or specialized memory care, our Family Choice Awards serve as a trusted guide to help you make informed decisions.
By celebrating the best communities, we hope to make the search process easier for families navigating the complexities of senior living. Our dedicated advisors are here to walk you through every step, provide candid guidance, and ensure you find a home that meets your loved one’s physical, emotional, and social needs.
