Lino Lakes, MN 55014
Lyngblomsten is very excited to be opening a new facility in Lino Lakes in July 2023. The main building will house older adults who live independently, with assistance and those who are living with memory loss. There are an array of activities planned for older adults of all ages and Lyngblomsten is looking forward to welcoming volunteers to enhance the lives of older adults through music, friendship, activities (crafts/hobbies) and more! Volunteers are also invited to serve in the small gift shop, cafe and even the tavern! Lyngblomsten at Lino Lakes has a pool, exercise room, golf simulator, pickle ball court and more. One of the many benefits of volunteering with Lyngblomsten at Lino Lakes is that after 6 volunteer shifts, the volunteer gets to come to a scheduled volunteer time every other week to use the amenities. Volunteers benefit by being active, social and engaged in a positive and meaningful way. As a volunteer, you will get to pick the days and times that you volunteer and the manner in which you do it. If you have been wondering where your time and talents will be appreciated, Lyngblomsten is the place!
