Redeemer is a member of Lyngblomsten, a Christian nonprofit organization providing healthcare, housing, and community-based services for older adults since 1906.

  • Are you an older adult looking for a welcoming, vibrant community for your next home?  The Lyngblomsten Apartments, an independent living building for those 62+ with low incomes, has an 864 square-foot, 2-bedroom apartment available in St. Paul’s nature-filled Como Park neighborhood.  Find personalized support and enriching programs designed to promote dignity, independence, and a fulfilling lifestyle on Lyngblomsten’s Como Park campus.  The apartment must be rented by two people who both meet requirements set by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).  For more information, contact Paula Stauffacher at (651) 632-5396 or pstauffacher@lyngblomsten.org.  

  • Help an older adult by volunteering with The Gathering, Lyngblomsten’s group respite program for those with early- to mid-stage memory loss.  Volunteers spend four fulfilling hours socializing with participants and helping with simple activities, providing their care partners with a much-needed break.  Sessions are held from 10 AM to 2 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays at Lyngblomsten’s Como Park campus and from 10 AM to 2 PM on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at Lyngblomsten at Lino Lakes.  Learn more by visiting //www.Lyngblomsten.org/TheGathering or by contacting Kevin Cipperly at (651) 632-5499 or kcipperly@lyngblomsten.org.  

  • Caregivers:  Subscribe to the Caregiving Compass for memory loss information and resources.  Lyngblomsten Community Services sends out this quarterly e-newsletter full of helpful articles from staff experts, Alzheimer-friendly events, digital and in-person resources, and more.  To view a sample edition and subscribe, visit //www.Lyngblomsten.org/Publications. 

  • Join Lyngblomsten for an interactive a cappella vocal concert on July 18.  The Waters Run Deep explores the many ways music connects us—to one another, to our stories, and to the world around us.  The Summer Singers’ interactive performances invite audiences to listen, participate, and experience music from new perspectives. The performance is followed by a Q&A.  The Summer Singers will be performing on July 18 from 10–11 AM at Lyngblomsten at Lino Lakes (6070 Blanchard Blvd., Lino Lakes, MN 55014) and from 2–3 PM at Lyngblomsten at Como Park (1415 Almond Ave., Saint Paul, MN 55108).  Free, no registration required.  For more information, contact Nicole Buchholz, Director of Lifelong Learning & the Arts, at nbuchholz@lyngblomsten.org or (651) 632-5459.  [both flyers attached]
