Heart to Home was founded in 2007 by three compassionate individuals (Paulette, Nick and Josh). Their mission was to create a long term care option that would improve peoples lives and build stronger communities. Through this vision they built some of the first 'green' residential care homes for seniors in the Twin Cities Minnesota metro area. As a result of these new options in senior care and memory care they have successfully allowed seniors to stay in the community and avoid moving to large institutional nursing facilities. Each residential care home is just that... home. In addition to creating a beautiful home environment for seniors to enjoy they have also successfully implemented a model of care that is truly catered to the individual.
