Welcome To Legacy Care Home

Family is the core value of Legacy Care Home and our family stories created the foundation for Legacy Care Home.

Bev and Jim Carlson married, settled in Minnetonka, and raised two children. Family was very important to them. Bev was diagnosed with Multiple Systems Atrophy in 2000, which is a form of Parkinson's disease. It debilitated Bev rapidly. Bev's family pulled together to care for her at home. Jim, her primary care giver, realized how hard it was to care for Bev and hold a full time job. So the family used a residential care home on weekends for respite and pull together during the week to meet her needs. After three years of fighting the disease, Bev passed peacefully on October 15th 2003, at the age of 56.

Grandpa and Grandma Ranta married, settled in Plymouth and raised four children who have all settled locally to raise their own families. Grandpa struggled with Alzheimer's disease for three years. Grandma and the children cared for his needs at home as long as they could before his needs demanded more. Grandpa was cared for in a memory care facility for three years before his passing December 2005.

Grandpa and Grandma Paulson met, married, farmed and raised eight children in Minnetonka. Grandpa always kept his family close, wanting each one to take a piece of the family farmland. Grandpa died May 1997 leaving grandma to keep the family together. Unfortunately grandma suffered with Alzheimer's disease for four years before she passed in October 2007.

With all that, we decided to purchase a piece of family farmland in Minnetonka and begin Legacy Care Home. Legacy is our way of paying tribute to our loved ones who have endured debilitating illnesses such as Parkinson's which Lisa's mom faced and Alzheimer's which two of Michelle's grandparents faced. Michelle and Lisa both know how hard it is facing the challenges in caring for loved ones and facing the health care needs they may have. Legacy is in dedication of our beloved mother, grandparents, and family.
