Attentive daily care
Trained staff provide personal assistance through the day while encouraging independence — help that's there the moment it's needed, and steps back when it isn't. Families get open, honest communication about how each day went.

Days that end with a good story to tell.
Amaana — the precious thing placed in someone's safekeeping. When your mother or father spends the day with us, that is exactly what we hold.
Amaana Adult Day Center gives older adults and adults with disabilities a warm, social, supervised day — meals, activities, health monitoring, and door-to-door rides — while the people who love them work, rest, and recharge.

The question every family asks
So… what does the day actually look like?
Every day is built around company, movement, good food, and going home content. Here's the shape of it.

Morning
The welcome
Our van brings you to the door. Coffee, tea, and familiar faces to start the day easy.
-
Mid-morning
Activities & conversation
Games, crafts, music, and conversation circles — chosen around what each person enjoys.
-
Midday
A warm meal together
A fresh lunch that respects dietary needs and cultural traditions, eaten in good company.
-
Afternoon
Gentle movement & rest
Light exercise adapted to every ability, then quiet time for those who want it.

Why "Amaana"
An amaana is something precious that someone places in your safekeeping — and returns exactly as it was entrusted. We named ourselves after the responsibility, not the business.
Care with dignity
Every person who walks through our doors is treated the way we would want our own parents treated — in their language, their traditions, their pace.
Family peace of mind
You'll never wonder how the day went. We tell you — at pickup, by phone, whenever something matters.
Rooted on Lake Street
We serve the community we live in, in the heart of Minneapolis — and our doors are open for you to come see it.
