Resident & family reviews
I had to put my dad in the Lincoln Glen Skilled Nursing Facility because it was the facility nearest to my home and I could visit often. He was in his 90s and reasonably mobile when he started his stay. Over the course of 2 years I visited him often I interacted with staff and attended several recreational events some times I sat with him for lunches or dinners. The food is well prepared, and very tasty - I often shared with him what was on his plate. I think the nurses are caring and competent. The staff was always wonderful and friendly. I have never had a complaint. My dad started his stay in the Assisted Living section and then moved into the nursing care area. Both areas were well managed.
