Our Organization 
Rakhma provides special housing for the elderly who have Alzheimerís disease and similar types of dementia. Our mission is to ensure that our homes allow people with dementia to stay in the community within a real home setting. Rakhma is an Aramaic word for ìunconditional loveî and describes our philosophy of care.  Our setting nurtures a sense of belonging through ongoing activities, and we are dedicated to preserving the dignity of the elderly person while attending to each individualís daily needs. We follow a social model for long-term care rather than a medical model, and emphasize caring for the older person in the least restrictive manner with unconditional love until the end of life. This year, Rakhma is celebrating 21-years of service to the elderly with memory loss, and our innovative memory loss program was the first of its kind in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.

At this time, we continue with the outstanding care and services that began 21-years ago. Rakhma now has three homes in twin cities communities that were converted into settings where people with Alzheimerís disease and similar types of dementia have a chance to live in a real home. The Rakhma Grace home is located in Minnetonka (near Glen Lake), the Rakhma Peace home is located in  Minneapolis (near 50^th & Lyndale), and the Rakhma Joy home is located in St. Paul (in the Highland area).
