Lyngblomsten, a Minnesota nonprofit senior services organization, announces the opening of Lyngblomsten at Lino Lakes, its new continuum-of-care campus located at the corner of Hodgson Road and County Road J in Lino Lakes, Minn. The opening marks a historic moment for Lyngblomsten, as it is the nonprofit’s first continuum-of-care campus to be constructed since 1912 (the other being its campus in the Como Park neighborhood of St. Paul).
Located on 16 acres, Lyngblomsten at Lino Lakes is home to 20 detached rental townhomes and a multi-level senior living building that includes 96 independent living apartments, 35 assisted living apartments, and 17 memory care suites. A second phase will add a skilled nursing wing.
“We are thrilled to welcome residents to the Lino Lakes campus and carry forward our ministry of providing them with compassionate care and innovative services,” said Jeff Heinecke, President & CEO of Lyngblomsten. “This new community will transform the future of senior living and allow us to preserve and enhance the quality of life of our residents.”
The project’s design was led by Wold Architects and Engineers, a Saint Paul-based architectural and engineering firm with senior living design expertise. Grand Real Estate Advisors served as development advisor, with Weis Builders as construction manager for the project and Dane Allen Homes overseeing the construction of the townhomes.
“As a local firm, it was an honor to create a contemporary architectural design for the campus that continues Lyngblomsten’s more-than-100-year legacy of serving older adults,” said Tu Anh Bui Johnson, Senior Living Planner at Wold Architects and Engineers. “We’re grateful for the opportunity to bring the team’s vision of a modern continuum-of-care community to life and look forward to seeing the positive impact this campus will have on older adults in the community and beyond.”
As part of Lyngblomsten’s vision of supporting older adults in living an active, vibrant life, residents have access to resort-style amenities on campus, including a warm water pool and fitness center, three restaurants, a game room with golf simulator, art studio, chapel/multipurpose room, theatre, and more. Beyond the campus, residents can venture into the surrounding area to discover local favorites and explore nature trails, lakes, parks and golf courses.
“The City of Lino Lakes is proud to see the result of Lyngblomsten’s extraordinary team’s hard work in bringing transformative care to citizens in our community,” said Lino Lakes Mayor, Rob Rafferty. “I am confident this new campus will serve our senior population well and enhance their quality of life for many years to come.”
More than 1,200 people attended a grand opening celebration for the public on Saturday, October 7, 2023. Lyngblomsten’s campus in Lino Lakes is located at Hodgson Road and County Road J. For more information on the project, please visit www.lyngblomsten.org/LinoLakes.
