Why choose Gianna Homes · Memory care in Minnetonka & Plymouth

The case for a small home.

There is something truly special about the comfort and familiarity of a smaller, residential care home. At Gianna Homes, our intimate settings offer a refreshing alternative to larger senior living communities, where residents are known by name, personal preferences are remembered, and meaningful relationships are part of everyday life. With dedicated nurses, compassionate caregivers, personalized memory care, and engaging daily activities, we provide the support residents need while preserving the warmth and feeling of home. It’s a place where familiar faces become trusted friends, families find peace of mind, and every resident is treated with the dignity, kindness, and love they deserve.

The gianna homes difference

In larger communities, you're one of many. At Gianna Homes, you're part of the family.

“We are not a nursing home. We are a residential home.”

In their own words — “a place where residents are not just cared for, but known, valued, and loved.”

What small means here

Not a wing. Not a campus. A house. A family.

We stay

Through every stage, including the end, in the house they know.

The houses provide hospice care when needed. Care continues up to and including the point when the resident is dependent upon us for his or her total care.

“Thank you for being a part of Dad’s last days. It meant so much to me that Dad was able to be in a loving home setting when he passed. You are truly a special place. Dad’s wish was to die at home. Thank you for being a “home” for Dad”

Our Story
Since opening our first residential care home, Sursum Corda, in Minnetonka in 1999, Gianna Homes has remained dedicated to providing exceptional, compassionate memory care in a warm, family-like setting. In 2014, we expanded that commitment with the opening of Gladys Place in Plymouth, and more recently, introduced Gianna HomeCare, bringing the same personalized care and trusted support directly into the homes of seniors throughout our community. Through the years, our mission has remained the same: to enrich the lives of those we serve with dignity, kindness, and love.
