About Sursum Corda

A home in a quiet Minnetonka neighborhood.

Gianna Homes – Sursum Corda is a large walk-out rambler style home located on a one and one-half acre wooded lot in a quiet residential neighborhood of Minnetonka. All of our resident rooms are on the main level where we also have a kitchen, dining room, four season porch with views of the woods, sunroom, living room, and an elevator which takes residents to the lower level.

The lower level features a large family room, a chapel, and a carport (for covered access). It opens out to a beautiful, fenced patio and garden area with walkways, a fountain, and abundant wildlife.

There is a generous amount of natural light, and the home is modestly but tastefully decorated to promote independence and comfort.

Gianna Homes Sursum Corda is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, licensed by the Minnesota Department of Health for dementia care. Gianna Homes has cared for families since 1999.
