"As nonprofit organizations face more and new challenges from different directions - funding, fundraising, serving more with less - LAHN provides a much needed sense of structure and oversight, providing insight to the larger issues facing the aging-in-place community."

Alison Schaub

Executive Director | Neighborhood Network for Seniors

Minnesota Leadership Council on Aging

The Living at Home Network is a founding member of the Minnesota Leadership Council on Aging. As a member, our Executive Director Kristin Rigg connects with Council members to develop and advocate for strong policy solutions for healthy aging in Minnesota.
Tied to policy work, the Council focuses on strategies for:

What Our Members Say About US

LAHN is a strong network, where every member is a pillar of support, providing strength and stability to one another, allowing us to learn from other programs, try new ideas, and do more with our ever-decreasing funding. Our network is made of thoughtful, committed members who provide a range of support, including professional guidance, networking opportunities, access to relevant information, and a sense of community, allowing individuals to navigate challenges and achieve our goals more effectively.

Alison Schaub Neighborhood Network for Seniors

When HM Elders began in 2001, the LAHN (then called Elderberry) gave us invaluable support with basic organizing principles, board development, networking for staff, and access to the Elderberry database. In our 23 years since, they have provided important help with insurance, grants, network conferences, and more. Each Living at Home neighborhood program is unique, but the peer support available through the network is vital to doing the specialized work we do for our communities.

Monica Gallagher Hamline Midway Elders

In a small organization with few staff, our LAHN membership is a great return on our investment. Not only do we receive timely notices about new cycles of funding, better insurance rates, legislative updates, emerging trends, and best practices, we are also connected to a supportive network of professionals who graciously share their insights, connections, and best ideas.

Deb Scott Community Partners - Two Harbors

We are glad to be a part of the Living at Home Network for many reasons. We take advantage of group pricing for liability insurance and database software. Most of all, we feel fortunate to have a peer group who wants to share knowledge and help us answer questions.

Katharine Tondra St. Anthony Park Area Seniors

The Living at Home Network (LAHN) plays an important role in supporting Nokomis Healthy Seniors by providing resources for navigating state grants, offering training opportunities, legislative advocacy and keeping updated on best practices. LAHN connects us with other program directors as well to discuss issues, share insights and innovative solutions. The upcoming database will allow programs to have more accurate data and reporting, and will streamline the process so that agencies will have more time for direct service and client interactions!

Megan Nolan Nokomis Healthy Seniors

Living at Home Network has equipped our small organization with valuable resources and a supportive space to connect with others. I truly appreciate having someone I can always call for guidance. Their dedication to developing a new database has been invaluable. It will allow us to track volunteers and clients better while ensuring accurate data for state reporting.

The Living at Home Network helps me to understand that we are part of a larger community dedicated to serving the needs of the generation that built the community we all get to enjoy every day.
