Independent Community Living Services

The goal of Independent Community Living Services is to promote health and home safety in a community setting. Independent community living with the aid of support services begins with a Long-Term Care Consultation.  The Long-Term Care Consultation (LTCC) is conducted by a team who helps Anoka County residents and their families determine if independent community living is the appropriate choice to meet their needs.
