Bring your pet - dog, cat, donkey, rabbit - to visit memory care residents at a small residential home. We see that short visits with animals can improve mood, bring a calming effect, and decrease behavioral issues with our residents. We also believe in the "Eden Alternative" which motivates us to have LIFE around our home. We hope that you can help us add to this joyful atmosphere!
Your pet should be up on their vaccinations and have a calm temperment.

Description
Gianna Homes-Sursum Corda is a not-for-profit organization providing exceptional senior memory care in a residential home.
We demonstrate a unique understanding of memory loss and the challenges it creates for our residents and their families.
We are dedicated to preserving the dignity of an individual while providing for his or her medical, social and spiritual needs. Our care is given in a home designed to honor God, nurture family, and foster friendship.
We have been serving the Minnetonka community since 1999 with our 10-bed home for people with memory loss. We recently opened a second home, Gladys' place, in Plymouth in 2014.
