Welcome, neighbors

A local team, the same Bella Mente

Bella Mente is a Minnesota 245D-licensed provider serving families across the state. Now we’re building a caregiving team right here in Crow Wing County — people who live in these towns and understand what it takes to support a loved one up north, in every season.

You get the warmth of a caregiver from your own community, backed by the training, oversight, and follow-through of an established agency. Same license, same standards, same people answering the phone.
