Updated Looks
Change will come to many areas of the Lyngblomsten Care Center during the renovation that will improve the appearance and functionality the spaces they touch:
- Resident rooms: All resident rooms will receive new flooring, paint, lighting, and updated furnishings, and select rooms will receive new closet doors and remodeled bathrooms.
- Kitchens and dining rooms: New equipment and cabinetry will enhance cooking experiences for staff and family members. New amenities such as hospitality stations, fireplaces, and flat screen TVs will invite residents and their families to gather in these rooms at any time of the day, not just during meals.
- Corridors and gathering spaces: New lighting and flooring will brighten corridors throughout the care center. Several areas be remodeled to become gathering spaces that residents can enjoy alone, with a group, and with their family.

New Features
As part of the renovation, new elements will be incorporated into and near the care center to enhance our residents’ quality of life:
- Sky Factory: An innovative feature will be added to Lyngblomsten’s memory care neighborhood to enhance the lives of its residents. A digital panel called a Sky Factory will be installed on the ceiling that will broadcast outdoor scenery, such as a blue sky with clouds.
- Ceiling lifts: Safety remains a top priority for our organization, so the renovation is bringing the installation of ceiling lifts to 12 resident rooms. These motorized lifts allow staff to safely transfer residents from their bed to a bathroom or a wheelchair.
- Outdoor space: Lyngblomsten wants to make it easy for residents and guests to spend time enjoying the outdoors. Initial improvements will feature a beautifully landscaped park-like island outside the main entrance to the care center.
Improved Infrastructure
It is essential to have a safe and sound building infrastructure and working systems. Currently, some have been in service for more than 50 years.
Maintenance and system upgrades will include items such as:
- Repairing our Care Center building exterior
- Replacing windows
- Replacing the emergency generator and fuel oil tank
- Upgrading the existing phone system
