Lincoln Park Care Center

P.T. was very good and helpful. Good staff. The nurses were hard to deal with at times and very forgetful. No Wi-Fi and no response to requests. Seemed a bit disorganized. Food was good.

My father is a patient at this facility. Everything need to be asked several times.Personal is not attentive. If he is coming after dialysis, he need to ask for food too. He is diabetic and sometimes he get food or drink that are categorically forbidden for him.

Do not go here unless you are ambulatory and had a hip or knee replacement - they are only competent in physical therapy. Their medical and nursing care is very weak and they are clueless. They are poorly organized, have too many per diem nurses, who were not oriented well and who do not know the facility well. There is one full-time medical doctor for the entire facility - which is several buildings, and she has no office or extension. There are very few specialists on staff with admitting privileges, so you are screwed if you need a specialist. They are disorganized, and lack a real process for communication between parties. They can only handle very simple cases in the “resort” - which is a ridiculous name for a health-related facility. Stay away if you need a lot of care or have real medical problems. My mother got a bed sore after one week and I was the one who noticed it. She went home with blood clots in her lungs, and into the hospital within days - after I kept saying - “why is she wheezing.” Her doctor knew from one phone call she probably had pulmonary embolisms. I never knew that was a symptom of PE, but the doctor there should have made an effort to figure that out. Medically, the physiatrist in charge is extremely weak clically - and that is dangerous. The COO is an occupational therapist - not quite the background you want in a medical facility.

I absolutely love Lincoln Park! The facility is very nice and the staff is awesome. They feel like family to us. I have never had a complaint and my husband has been here since July. I am so thankful that they accept Veterans, so the men can visit with each other.

My husband had been in Lincoln Park. The people who work there were doing a wonderful job, but then I don’t know what happened. He ended up being maybe over medicated and they had to take him to a hospital where they kept him for about a month to try and help him, so he could walk again. He could always walk around, but all of a sudden, he was so medicated that you couldn’t get him out of bed, so I chose not to go back there. Plus, the facility was not happy. There was one room at the end of the hall, but the halls were gray, and that room had windows. They just sat them in there around the table. I know they need the old movies, which was wonderful, but it was very noisy. The people were just really sitting there with their heads on the table. It wasn’t the best experience. The people who worked there did the very best with what they had.

My brother in law is suffering from fourth stage kidney cancer, and needed a place to stay that would accept Medicaid. Alyssa suggested the Care Center, which I visited. It looks nice from the road and in the lobby but is a disaster inside. " one flew over the cuckoo's nest". Three patients to a room, separated by a hospital curtain, with furniture from the 1940s. If you love whomever you're arranging a residence for, avoid this place like the plague!

I didn’t like Lincoln Park for my husband. It is rehab, senior living, and dementia living. The rooms were awful with three people to a room with a curtain between each of them. It didn’t look like they took care of their patients. I was upset because I had an appointment, but nobody knew I had the appointment. They told me to bring my paperwork, but there was nobody there to take the paperwork. Also, there was a bad smell in the place.

My dad is in this facility, the furnishings are dated and chipped and all the drawers do not have handles on them. The walls in dads room are chipped and the staff use my fathers bathroom for themselves. My father feels they are rough when bathing him and he feels violated by how rough they treat him while bathing and how they squeeze his testicles upon cleaning him. I would NOT recommend this facility. We are moving him out as quickly as possible.
