Abundant Aging
Through this community building initiative, we bring expertise and resources together to address the local and statewide challenges that older adults face.
Older Adults
Live fully in community
Independence, well-being and strong relationships are central to our services for older adults. Whether it’s volunteering, enjoying a meal with friends or making financial decisions for the future, Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota offers a range of options across the state. We invite you to choose the design and delivery of services that best support the life you want to live.
