Minnetonka Memory Care at Gianna Homes
Searching for memory care in Minnetonka can be difficult. While there are plenty of options, how do you know which memory care facility or home will truly provide the best care? Before making important elder care decisions, you need to pay close attention to the history of the organization, read testimonials, tour the location, and speak with representatives. It’s also important to look into a typical day at the home, and consider how your loved one would fit into the culture of the home. All these tasks can be difficult, but finding quality memory care in Minnetonka is worth it.
Here at Gianna Homes, we have been serving the Minnetonka community since 1999. We are locally owned and operated, and we believe that proper memory care requires individualized care. No one is the same, and individualized care allows us to effectively handle the varying feelings and emotions that are associated with memory loss. Our mission is to provide the Minnetonka area with “a loving kindness that respects the dignity of each resident.” Our approach is based on extensive research and experience, while the care is delivered straight from the hearts of our dedicated caregivers.
Our Memory Care Services in Minnetonka
We offer memory care in Minnetonka that takes many forms. From in-home care to our residential nursing homes, we have options to fit the unique needs of anyone.
With our experience in Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care, we understand the difficulties of living in a new environment. Change is scary, especially when dealing with memory loss. We work hard to meet the needs of these individuals by offering life engagement and therapy opportunity alongside our memory care in Minnetonka.
Life Engagement: Offers a client the chance to continue their interests such as Art, Music Therapy, and Massage Therapy. These are all important to the overall well-being of each client.
Music Therapy: This is a huge part of who we are, and we have found great success in 1:1 sessions.
Massage Therapy: This provides the client an opportunity for a foot, hand, shoulder, or arm massage to help comfortable and happy living.
No one wants to move out of home and into a facility. That’s why we don’t think of ourselves as a memory care facility, but rather a memory care home. We offer a residential environment that is comforting, familiar, and helps residents experience a normal life. When the time comes to move out of your current home, we can offer a new one.

Minnetonka Memory Care
All of our resident rooms are on the main level where we also have four (4) bathrooms (two being very large with a full handicap shower), a kitchen, a dining room, a four season porch with views of the woods, a parlor, solarium, a living room with fireplace, and an elevator which takes residents to the lower level. The lower level features a large family room (where we hold activities), a chapel, a laundry room, a carport (for covered access), our offices, and an additional bathroom.
There is a generous amount of natural light, as well as artificial lighting to maintain the safety of our residents as they age and sight and gait diminish. There are handrails throughout the home. The home is modestly but tastefully decorated to promote independence and comfort.
