Caring for an older adult comes in all forms, from dropping off a bag of groceries to providing transportation to a doctor’s appointment. If you’re providing any type of support, you’re in a caregiver role—one that brings both joys and challenges.
The Lyngblomsten Community Services' Caregiver Services team is here to help you on your caregiving journey!
We have expertise working with individuals who have memory loss and their family and friends who support them, although anyone who's supporting an older adult is welcome and encouraged to connect with us.
See the list of resources below for the ways we can support you.

- In-person group on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 10:30 AM at Lyngblomsten at Lino Lakes (6070 Blanchard Blvd., Lino Lakes, MN 55014)
Each Support Group meeting lasts about one hour.
If you're interested in participating in a group, please contact us at (651) 632-5320 or

Registration preferred. Walk-ins are welcome.* Note: If you sign up for a virtual option, staff will email you the link to participate and guide you through downloading the Zoom app and becoming comfortable with it.
*Occasionally a support group is cancelled due to weather, a holiday, or another circumstance. In this case, this information will be posted here by 8 AM the day of the group.
The Gathering is a group respite program that provides four hours of brain-stimulating activities and social engagement to adults experiencing early- to mid-stage memory loss, allowing their family members and/or friends to take a much-needed break from caregiving. The program is led by Lyngblomsten staff members with support from a team of volunteers who are specially trained to understand the distinctive needs of people experiencing memory loss.
For information and registration, contact us at 651.632.5320 or caregiving@lyngblomsten.org.
