Nursing Home Licensure
This page contains information and forms required to make application to operate as a licensed Nursing Home in the State of Minnesota. These forms are intended for use as reference. Minnesota currently has a moratorium law (MN-Statute 144A-071) restricting the establishment of new nursing homes or the licensure of additional nursing home beds.
Please do not use these forms to renew a current license.
Currently licensed nursing homes will receive separate notification and instructions for
licensure renewal from the Department of Health.
If you have questions regarding this license, please
contact the Licensing and Certification Program at 651-201-4101 or e-mail
health.fpc-licensing@state.mn.us
to obtain additional clarification.
