Rakhma Peace Home

Rakhma Peace Home has cared for seniors since 1984, offering a small, supportive place designed for people who want help with daily tasks and memory issues like Alzheimer's or dementia, and the homes sit in safe neighborhoods in the Twin Cities, including the Minneapolis Peace Home, St. Paul Joy Home, and Minnetonka Grace Home, where no more than ten residents live together in each house, so staff can really know the folks who live there, and while the setting isn't fancy, it feels comfortable and homey, with shared living rooms and dining spaces, outdoor yards with safe walking paths, and full kitchens where meals get cooked with special diets like gluten-free and vegetarian if needed, and rooms come both private and semi-private with safety features installed in bathrooms, plus cable television for those who want it. Care staff stay up and alert every night and every day, watching out for everyone's health and helping with things like bathing, dressing, walking, toileting, and medication, including handling insulin shots or complicated behavioral changes that sometimes come with memory loss, and if someone tries to walk off or gets confused, the home has technology like bracelets and alarm systems that keep doors secure, plus a separate memory care area that's intact and protective, so people can't get into trouble. Health care sits front and center at Rakhma, as nurses are on hand, and doctors can get called when someone needs medical attention, and the program allows for hospice and respite care too, which helps families and residents during tough times. Residents fill their days with activities that fit many abilities, from Tai Chi and music to gardening, walks, and regular little celebrations, and there's an activity director who plans trips, outings, and even intergenerational or devotional programs because staying social and engaged really helps people stay happy. The homes stick to a philosophy of "unconditional love," and staff get described as caring and genuine, helping folks with as much independence as possible, and families often mention feeling a sense of peace and belonging when they visit. Whether someone likes to sing, tell stories, or just relax in a bright room with lots of windows and comfortable seats, the staff try to honor those routines and personal preferences, and for those who worry about safety, the doors and grounds remain locked and staff watch closely, especially for people likely to wander. Meals get served each day, and there's always conversation, and sometimes residents help, fostering a strong neighborhood feel, which is helped by the Circle of Giving initiative and memory care resources that reach out to family and the larger community. With a license number of 30414 and a limit of ten residents per home, there's a lot of personal attention, making Rakhma Peace Home a place where seniors who need a bit more support, but want the feeling of a real household, can feel safe, known, and treated with respect, and over the years, many have found comfort in its simple, neighborly environment.
