The trust of families is the foundation of everything we do.
Moving my mother to Sygma House was the best decision our family made. The staff remembered her favorite shows, her tea preference, everything. She felt at home within a week.
— S. Okonkwo

As a discharge planner, I've referred multiple clients here. The communication is excellent, the intake process is smooth, and the families consistently report high satisfaction.

A licensed residential assisted living home built on the belief that every adult deserves dignity, connection, and a real home.
Our Story
Sygma House was founded with a single purpose: to create the kind of assisted living home we would want for our own family members. Not a clinical facility, not a large institution — a genuine home where people are known by name, not room number.
We serve adults who need daily support but want to maintain their independence and dignity in a residential setting. With only five residents, our staff have the time and capacity to truly care for each individual.
Our home is licensed by the State of Minnesota under Chapter 144G (the Uniform Demonstrated Ability and Licensure Standards for Assisted Living Act) and we welcome residents on private pay and Medicaid waiver programs including the Elderly Waiver.
