The staff at The Commons in Lincoln was very pleasant and friendly. Their activities were a lot more challenging and diverse than other facilities, and they had a lot of things that I would be interested in. The community was fully developed, but there were some areas where you can walk.

We are planning to move to The Commons. We're going there to be near our son, and we're moving to assisted living. It's brand-new; it just opened in April, and that would be good because the people would be new to assisted living as we would be and presumably be in good health. It's a nice place.

The Commons in Lincoln is very pretty. The lobby and the dining room are large and nice. The people seem friendly. I have lunch there, and it is very nice. The woman who shows me around is very helpful and very nice. They have a pool and the gym or the recreation area. They show movies at night. They have transportation to doctor's appointments. I saw a large apartment there.

The Commons in Lincoln was new, very clean, and a beautiful place. They had a big indoor swimming pool, which I like. The staff were most helpful. They showed me around, and they told me exactly what I could expect. They invited me to dinner and the food was wonderful. It's mostly for a table for four, but they do have tables for two and for six. It's a beautiful dining room, and it looked like a fine restaurant. They post a list of what they are going to do every day, and they give you a list for the whole month.

One of the many benefits of being a senior living community is the ability to create moments that wow our families. Thanks for your kind words! Please let our Executive Director know (781-430-6000) if there is ever anything we can do for you and your family.

The Commons seems more sophisticated than other places. Their rooms were bigger, which is nice. Their health building was not quite finished yet when we visited, so we didn’t get to see it. The staff members were very good.
It is fairly close to the Boston area where there are lots of things to do; however, there were no walking places nearby the facility. There’s no real place to get out and walk as it’s very close to a highway. It seems like there are a lot of buildings in a small space. They have activity rooms and areas for snacks and drinks.

I took a tour at The Commons in Lincoln, and this place is excellent. They have a lot of activities, and they have a beautiful pool; very large. They also don’t seem to have old people living there.

The Commons in Lincoln has a very expensive buy-in. That's not what my mother wants, and I don't think it's good enough. There's a lot of construction going on right now because they're building a nursing facility as well as a separate assisted living even though in all the apartments, people can have assisted living too. It's very pretty. It has a lot of land, you can walk around, plus it's very easily accessible to Route 2, which means it's easy for me to get there. The person who took me around was very nice. Everybody seemed very friendly. They had great facilities. If that weren't such an expensive buy-in place, that would've been my #1, and that doesn't include the monthly fees.

I'm at The Commons in Lincoln now. It is convenient to where I used to live. Also, they're planning to build a memory unit and skilled nursing, too. The staff's work attitude is very good. We have more things to do in a day. This afternoon, I went to two classes. Tomorrow, there would be a lecture by a professor.
