Nursing homes provide personal assistance and medical care from licensed professionals. Services in skilled nursing facilities often include:
St. Paul – the capital of Minnesota – is one of the “Twin Cities,” along with its close neighbor Minneapolis. The city is located on the banks of the Mississippi, where you can still see the lighted signs of the old breweries that once thrived along its shores.
Nursing homes — also called convalescent homes or skilled nursing facilities — — are intended for seniors who require 24-hour monitoring and medical assistance. These communities are designed to promote independence among seniors who require constant nursing care to perform activities of daily living (ADLs), but do not require hospital-level care.
The median monthly cost of a private room in a St. Paul nursing home is about $11,400, and the median monthly cost of a private room in a nursing home in the state of Minnesota is around $11,000, according to Genworth.
The overall cost of living in St. Paul is roughly equal to the national average. Minnesota does not tax necessities such as food and groceries, so the city has relatively low costs for essentials. St. Paul’s health care cost is rated higher than the national average, due to the large number of high quality hospitals that are located in the Twin Cities.

St. Paul is the capital of Minnesota and one of the oldest cities in the entire state. The city, once home to a thriving economy based around mills and breweries, is located on the banks of the mighty Mississippi river. The city has a rich history, which is why it is no wonder that St. Paul is full of historical buildings that reflect its storied past. Popular historical locations in the city include the James J. Hill House, built by the noted railroad magnate, and the F. Scott Fitzgerald House, which was built by the famed author who lived in St. Paul. The Cathedral of St. Paul and the Capitol Building also offer tours that showcase the unique architecture of the buildings and their role in Minnesota’s history.
St. Paul’s location on the Mississippi River means that the city is filled with scenic trails and parks that can be enjoyed all season round. There are also a number of waterfalls throughout the city, including the Minnehaha Falls and the aptly named Hidden Falls. During the winter months, local residents enjoy snowshoeing and Nordic skiing throughout the parks and along the banks of the river.
One of the most popular destinations in St. Paul (especially among grandkids) is the Science Museum of Minnesota. This nationally recognized museum was founded in 1907 and is home to a large collection of dinosaur fossils, a human body gallery, and an Imax theater. After the museum you can catch a Minnesota Wild hockey game at the Xcel Energy Center, which is located next door. Hockey is by far the most popular sport in the state, and every year thousands of hockey fans fill the arena to capacity for the State Highschool Hockey Championships.
Transportation
St. Paul is connected to the greater Twin Cities metropolitan area by Metro Transit, which operates bus and light rail lines throughout St. Paul, Minneapolis, and the surrounding suburbs. Riders can easily travel from downtown St. Paul to MSP international airport or the Mall of America. The Twin Cities are also nationally recognized for being extremely bike-friendly. The Greenway bike trail connects the entire metro area, providing convenient access to nearly anywhere in the Twin Cities by bicycle.
