You’re allowed to just wonder for a while.
Most families ask “is it time?” quietly, late at night, long before they say it out loud. This page is for that stage — read, compare, take your time. And when you’d rather talk to a person, call Cari.
Tell us what’s going on, or nothing at all. You don’t have to decide anything today.
Goes to Cari, not a call center. Direct line 952-443-6113.
The moments that start the question.
There’s no test that says “now.” There are usually moments — small ones that repeat, then one that doesn’t leave you. If some of these sound familiar, you’re in the right place.
No single moment on this list decides anything. Together, they mean the question deserves to be said out loud — to your family, to her doctor, or to us.
Some families call a year before they need anything. An early call doesn’t start a process — it just means that when the hard week comes, you’ll already know us, and Cari will already know your mom’s name.
Memory care, assisted living, nursing home, in-home — what the words actually mean.

Who our houses are right for — and who they’re not.
We’d rather tell you on the first call than after a visit.
“Families need to know that in the midst of such a sad, ugly illness there are moments of hope, joy and laughter…their loved one can have a purpose back in their life…our mother found purpose in her days again, when she moved into Gianna Homes ❤️”
Three gentle next steps.
When it does move forward: a registered nurse comes to her — we assess at home, at the time of day that’s hardest. There’s no financial examination. And if you’d rather keep reading on your own first, the Alzheimer’s Association — alz.org — is a good next page.
