Lyngblomsten Opens New Senior Living Community
Posted on August 10, 2023 by Libbie Chapuran
Lyngblomsten, a Minnesota nonprofit senior services organization, recently opened its new continuum-of-care campus in Lino Lakes.
The community welcomed its first residents to the campus’ independent living apartments in late July, marking the culmination of nearly ten years of preparation. Lyngblomsten at Lino Lakes is expected to welcome residents to assisted living apartments and memory care units in late summer.
The 20-acre campus (located at the corner of Hodgson Road and County Road J) includes 20 detached, one-level rental townhomes and a multi-level building comprised of 96 independent living apartments, 36 assisted living apartments, and 17 memory care suites. In addition, residents have access to various campus amenities, including three dining options, a fitness center with a warm water pool, a chapel/multipurpose room, a workshop, a game room with a golf simulator, a pickleball court, a pet exercise area, and more.
“This is a historic time for Lyngblomsten because it marks the first time since 1912 that Lyngblomsten has opened a continuum-of-care campus,” said Jeff Heinecke, President & CEO of Lyngblomsten. “I can only imagine that the excitement, pride, and blessings that we are experiencing today are much the same that the founding women felt a century ago when they welcomed the first residents to the St. Paul campus.” He continued, “We’re very excited to be a part of the Lino Lakes community, and we’re honored to be able to support older adults in living a vibrant, active lifestyle. We appreciate the support of city leaders and the partnerships we’ve forged.”
Wold Architects and Engineers, a St. Paul–based architectural and engineering firm with senior living design expertise, led the project’s design. Grand Real Estate Advisors served as the development advisor, Weis Builders was the project's construction manager, and Dane Allen Homes oversaw the construction of the townhomes.
A grand opening celebration for the public is being planned for Saturday, Oct. 7.
