Heart to Home Inc. operates several small, home-like residences for seniors in Mendota Heights, Minnesota, with thoughtful names like Hilltop Manor, Lake Manor, Mendakota Manor, and Mendota Manor, and these houses sit on quiet tree-filled lots, lots of them on hills with nice views of parks, and some sit near places like Rogers Lake and Friendly Marsh Park or even the North Urban Regional Trail, so you get a peaceful feeling just sitting out on the covered porches, patios, or even custom cedar decks, and many of the rooms have big picture windows to look out at the parkland. Each home is designed for six or seven people, so it stays calm and personal, and the staff-to-resident ratio is usually 1:3 or 1:4, which helps everyone get good care, and people who work here, like Jessica Marcello and LaFonda Bradford, are Certified Nursing Assistants and there's always a registered nurse keeping an eye on things. The founder and CEO, Josh Cesaro-Moxley, and Nick Cesaro-Moxley, started the company in 2007, and they seem to focus on helping people age in place, which means you can get more help as you need it without having to move out, and they provide things like memory care and hospice care, plus respite care if your main helper needs a break.
The houses look more like regular homes than facilities, and inside there are private suites that have handicap-accessible bathrooms with heated floors and nice tile, and the kitchens are done up with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and big walk-in pantries, and seniors who like company can spend time in family rooms or cozy sitting rooms, or join meals in the dining rooms. Meals get made for everyone, and the staff can help with taking medicine, getting dressed, bathing, and planning out care that fits what each person needs. There are laundry and housekeeping services, as well as social activities, a library, fitness classes, walking groups, and an on-site hair salon, so you can keep up with things you enjoy, and there's even a wellness center to help with health. Seniors are welcome to ask about bringing pets, because some of the apartments allow them, and there are spaces to enjoy the outdoors, too.
Heart to Home Inc. has homes licensed for assisted living and memory care in Minnesota, including places like MSOCS Lakeville Jonquil and Margarets House, and the company lists out license numbers for each one, like License #1654 and License #21238, so it's clear they follow state requirements. There's help for both single folks and married couples, and they take care of senior couples as well as older adults who come on their own. Special memory care wings are secure so those living with Alzheimer's disease can feel safe, and the staff training covers dementia, hospice, and geriatric needs, which helps give person-centered care that focuses on each resident's mind, body, and soul. The homes are part of 55+ communities and offer pet-friendly senior apartments and retirement living options, keeping things simple and comfortable, and you'll find pricing for assisted living starts at $4,264 per month.
Besides caring for residents, Heart to Home Inc. offers consulting to other care providers, both on-site and remote, covering everything from program development to how to design a home to meet care needs, and they help with management, customer and staff relations, and even marketing. With about 51-200 employees, the team supports the day-to-day care and helps make life in each home welcoming, structured, and supportive. The company overall tries to create spaces that help foster community, independence, and dignity, so the residents can keep up with health, friends, and things they like, in a setting that feels much less like a big institution and more like a familiar home.
