Learn More About Care Homes in White Bear Lake, MN

Welcome to White Bear Lake, where the charm of small town living meets the beauty of a lakeside setting. Between its pastoral appeal, exciting activities, and friendly people, White Bear Lake offers something for everyone.

In White Bear Lake, residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.
