The Lighthouse at Lincoln

Leann

My mother has moved into The Lighthouse at Lincoln. She is very happy there. She is doing great. It's a beautiful place. I like the fact that they're all certified in dementia care. All the helpers are dressed in green shirts. I guess that's the last color that dementia patients remember, so they know they can go to anyone in a green shirt who will help them. The rooms are beautiful. I love everything about it. There's nothing I can say that I don't like about it. It's very clean. They have outdoor space for the residents to walk around that's locked and supervised. It's wonderful. We're really happy. The price is reasonable, too. The staff is very helpful. They lead them to their rooms. They would do everything; they're wonderful. I can't say anything bad about anybody. There's enough staff. There are two CNAs, two med techs, and a nurse. There's someone who can give them their medication during the night. They've taken very good care of my mother so far. Everything's been good. My mother said the food was delicious, and she is very fussy. They were baking cookies, and she had a cookie. They have guest trays, but we haven't tasted the food. They have a pet therapy dog, art therapy, Tai Chi, and yoga. They keep them very busy. My mother goes from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. She has her own room with a twin bed, a bureau, and a nice, clean, big walk-in bathroom. It's very nice. They put her pictures up and stuff. When we left, they gave us a loaf of blueberry bread, and it was out of this world.

My dad moved to The Lighthouse at Lincoln, and the staff was friendly the day we went there. We got to sit and see a couple of the activities, and the girls were phenomenal with the residents. While doing the activities, the other CNAs would say, "Come on, let's go to the bathroom. Let's do this." They were nonstop taking care of them. His apartment has enough room for his bed, a nightstand, a reclining chair, and a full walk-in closet. The bathrooms are big enough, and he's on a cane, but you could use a walker, and it has a walk-in shower with a seat. They clean all day. If you see something wrong, they are there within 30 seconds to fix it. I tried the food, and it wasn't bad. My father loves it. They go around, and they give you two choices. If, for some reason, the person does not like that, they have other alternatives, and the cook is in the back, he'll cook it right up for you. They are good.

The Lighthouse at Lincoln is very good. They have excellent care. It's a small community. So, it's meeting my mother's needs and they've taken good care of her. The building is new. It has four separate units. So everybody isn't together in one unit, which makes it more personal. The layout and the way they provide care and activities are very good. The staff has all been very good. They all know enough and have been educated in taking care of someone with memory care issues, and they are excellent at that. The meals have been excellent, too. They have a chef that prepares all the food. They have exercise, they have farm animals come in, and they have live music where people come in and sing and play the guitar. They had a harpist come in for the holidays. They have so many activities. Then they do different other activities like making crafts for the holidays. They made all different things. It's just beautiful.

The people at The Lighthouse at Lincoln that I've toured with were wonderful. I think that of all the places I've toured, I was very impressed with the help and the people that work here. They're wonderful. The staff that toured the facility with me were all very knowledgeable, and they knew what they were talking about. They were very helpful. Overall, what I saw was very good. They had a courtyard that was very pretty, many different game rooms, and function rooms. They're among my top three favorite facilities.

The Lighthouse at Lincoln is a beautiful place. The nurses were very good, but the administrative staff and the upper staff were not. They weren't honorable people. The apartments were beautiful, and the dining room was set up appropriately. I didn't see as much going on there compared to some of the other more social places I visited. The actual physical environment was definitely five stars, but that's about it. The staff needs to improve on being more understanding of the caregiver. Sometimes, I was very emotional because of my aunt's situation, and they should have been a little more understanding of that. They don't listen. They are not interested in what you have to say.
