The Pines Assisted Living Costs & Pricing

The Pines Assisted Living offers competitive pricing for its residents compared to the broader market in Hennepin County and the state of Minnesota. For instance, a studio room at The Pines is priced at $2,900 per month, significantly lower than the county average of $3,713 and the state average of $3,617. Moving to one-bedroom accommodations, The Pines charges $3,600 monthly - this aligns closely with Hennepin County's rate of $3,550 while being substantially higher than the state average of $2,893. For two-bedroom units, The Pines' fee is set at $4,500, which exceeds both regional and state averages (Hennepin County at $3,848 and Minnesota at $2,955). These figures suggest that while The Pines provides appealing options for studio living, it may be positioned more towards the premium end for larger spaces when compared to local and statewide norms.

Overall Review of The Pines Assisted Living

differentiator 9 reviews mention this

Dining and chef stand out

Restaurant-style dining and a chef are repeatedly praised by residents and families.

Multiple reviews bring up the dining room and the quality of the food, including comments that the food looks good and that dinner can be selected as part of the meal plan. A few reviewers specifically mention the chef—calling out courteous service and, in one case, “amazing” food from the on-site restaurant. The community also offers restaurant-style dining and meal options aligned to special dietary restrictions, plus room service and a professional chef.

Caring, responsive staff

Residents and families consistently describe staff as caring, helpful, and attentive.

Reviews repeatedly describe staff as friendly, knowledgeable, and involved—checking in, understanding preferences, and being there when help is needed. Families also mention working effectively with staff from a distance, with staff including them as part of the care team. The community offers assisted-living care needs such as assistance with bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, plus coordination with health care providers.

common 7 reviews mention this

Facility is kept clean

Residents and visitors frequently comment on the facility’s cleanliness and upkeep.

Several reviews say the building is clean and well kept, including comments during tours that the facility looks attractive and maintained. Others specifically mention clean rooms and a well-kept overall feel, even while noting it can be an older community. Alongside that, the community describes amenities such as indoor common areas, housekeeping services, and well-defined apartment spaces.

common 10 reviews mention this

Activities keep days full

Families describe a steady schedule of resident activities and outings.

Across reviews, people mention a lot to do—exercise and stretching classes, social events like bingo and cards, and field trips or planned shopping outings. Some families highlight resident-run or scheduled activities happening daily, and others describe specific classes residents enjoy. The community’s activity and wellness offerings include a full calendar of daily activities, fitness programs, Tai Chi, and planned day trips.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Pricing feels high for value

Price is a common concern, with several reviewers saying it’s too expensive.

A number of reviews call out cost directly, including comments that the apartments are expensive or that rent feels steep for what’s offered. Others mention higher-than-expected visitor meal pricing or that the price doesn’t match certain space or included meal expectations. At the same time, the community offers multiple care and dining services, but residents and families still compare value and affordability.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Visitor parking is limited

Visitor parking is described as sparse or nearly non-existent.

Multiple reviewers note that there isn’t much parking available for visitors, including comments that visitor parking is virtually non-existent or very sparse. One review also mentions no parking lot for visitors as a downside during the tour experience. This can matter most when family members are planning regular visits.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Memory care and higher needs

Some reviews suggest the facility may not meet memory-care needs.

A few families describe concerns when additional care is required—saying the community did not have the extent of care needed as conditions changed or that they would have stayed only if more memory care were available. Another review adds an impression that more intensive assistance may be limited. While the community provides assisted-living support like bathing and transfers, residents and families still signal a gap for memory-care-specific needs.

    Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) are fundamental tasks vital for an individual's independence, particularly in older adults over 85, and include functions like bathing and dressing; assessing ADLs alongside Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) helps determine the level of required assistance due to age-related health challenges. Tailored support plans, involving family and community resources, are essential for maintaining dignity and autonomy in assisted living environments.
