Home Care That Honors Your Loved One

Care without crisis starts at home

When you’re caring for a parent, partner, or loved one, it can feel like you’re carrying an invisible weight: Did they eat today? Are they okay? What happens when I can’t be there? Northern Lights Living provides reliable, respectful in-home support so older adults and adults with disabilities can keep living life their way at home and in the community they love.

We’re approachable, relatable, and professional, here for the real-life, everyday needs that families actually face.

"We've been with Northern Lights Living since March '23 and couldn't be happier! The difference between the two companies is 'night and day.' They come M–F for two hours each afternoon. Mom has the same two caregivers each week, which gives her consistency."

"Stephanie has been a social worker for over 20 years. Her experience translated into a seamless experience for us. Plus mom really likes her care worker, as do we. I cannot say enough good things about Northern Lights Living!"

"I do not think you will find a better care group. The work that Stephanie has put in this program is amazing. I would definitely use her again. All the workers were great. They felt more like friends than workers."

What makes us different

Your schedule is not negotiable to us. We build care around your routines and preferences, not ours.

Flexibility you can’t find elsewhere. Need consistent weekly care, ad hoc support, or a schedule that changes with life? We’ll meet you where you are.

Care that gives your relationship back. When professional care handles the tasks, families get to just be family again.

Caregivers who are the right fit. We match based on personality and compatibility, not just availability.

Families stay in the loop. Optional updates (photos, videos, and notes) help lighten the load for adult children and long-distance family members.

Who we serve

Older adults who want to remain at home with dignity and independence
Adults with physical or developmental disabilities
Families who need respite and dependable, values-based care
People planning for the future, before a crisis forces a rushed decision

Northern Lights Living is a Twin Cities-based home care agency led by founder Stephanie Alexander, who knows this work from both sides of the table: decades in social services and personal experience as a hands-on family caregiver.
