Assisted Living

Our assisted living apartments allow residents to continue to live independently while receiving personal care and assistance with activities of everyday living (e.g., medication management, bathing, dressing, diabetes care). Healthcare staff is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and residents receive a healthcare pendant to call for assistance outside of regularly scheduled cares. Assisted living also offers weekly light housekeeping and laundry.

Our independent living apartments provide residents with the convenience of maintenance-free living in a vibrant community. If independent living residents experience a healthcare situation or emergency, they need to call 911 or a family member for assistance, as Lyngblomsten at Lino Lakes is not licensed to provide healthcare services to them. Independent living residents also have the option to hire an outside agency to provide care in their apartment.

Our Life Enrichment Department offers a variety of engaging, culturally diverse programs and activities that promote socialization and cognitive stimulation. These include opportunities led by professional teaching artists (e.g., drawing classes, concerts) that are organized by Lyngblomsten’s Lifelong Learning and the Arts Department. Residents also can connect with others while enjoying our campus amenities and when participating in spiritual care opportunities led by our staff chaplain and other licensed ministers.

We occasionally offer scheduled group trips for shopping (e.g., Target, Walmart). Staff can also provide residents with a list of organizations that provide transportation services.

After you select an apartment, you will complete a reservation form and pay a reservation fee. Your monthly rent begins 14 days from the date you complete the reservation form.

Next, within 48 hours of reserving your apartment, our nursing staff will call you to schedule a pre-move-in healthcare assessment. This assessment determines the level of care an incoming resident needs and, based on that, the cost for healthcare services each month. (This amount is in addition to your monthly rent.) The assessment consists of answering a series of questions and takes about one hour to complete.

You will then receive a summary of your assessment and a breakdown of your monthly healthcare costs. If after reviewing this information you would like to proceed with moving to our community, you will complete housing paperwork and schedule your move-in date.

The level of care is determined from the results of the pre-move-in healthcare assessment. Most often, the total costs will directly coincide with the amount of time that staff will spend with residents on their healthcare needs.

Healthcare needs can change at any time, and our staff will adjust your care plan as needed. We conduct a pre-move-in healthcare assessment, a move-in day reassessment, and a 14-day assessment to ensure that we are providing the correct level of care when you move in. Throughout a person’s stay in assisted living or memory care, we seek to foster an open dialogue with residents and their family members about their healthcare needs so we can provide the best possible care.

Lyngblomsten at Lino Lakes is a market-rate, private-pay community. Some long-term care insurance policies cover assisted living and long-term care. Policies vary, so please consult with your insurance company’s benefits administrator to determine what your particular policy covers. We can assist with the long-term care insurance reimbursement process.
