Lakeville is home to the original, flagship campus of The Moments, the Twin Cities’ most innovative and compassionate memory care and enhanced assisted living community. For families in Lakeville, Farmington, Rosemount, Apple Valley, and the surrounding Dakota County communities, exceptional memory care is right here.
Since opening in 2016, The Moments of Lakeville has grown from a single 32-suite community into a three-building campus with 92 residential suites, beautiful outdoor gardens, and enrichment spaces that reflect the very best in memory care design. For Lakeville families, this means world-class care is just minutes from home.
The Moments was built to be the community our founder searched for but never found.
Our Lakeville Campus
The Moments of Lakeville is located at 16258 Kenyon Avenue, Lakeville, MN 55044, just off Interstate 35W in the heart of one of the fastest-growing cities in the Twin Cities metro. The campus is composed of three interconnected buildings and outdoor spaces:
- The Moments of Lakeville: the newest and largest building, featuring 60 residential suites across two floors, multiple gathering areas, a state-of-the-art HVAC system, and a full range of amenities

Together, these spaces create a campus unlike anything else in Dakota County or the southern Twin Cities metro.
