Lincoln & Pine in San Jose, CA is a residential care home equipped to manage residents who present with behavioral concerns, including combative tendencies, and those living with advanced dementia. Continuous medical oversight is supported by on-site memory care programming, incontinence and ambulatory care, medication management, hospice coordination, and regular visits from a nurse, physical therapist, occupational therapist, podiatrist, and dentist. This clinical lineup allows the community to adjust care plans quickly when conditions change, reducing the need for outside appointments and minimizing disruption for residents.
Round-the-clock staffing includes awake night shift caregivers, and all employees undergo background checks before hire. Door-alarmed exits and a wander guard system help maintain safety for residents prone to roaming. Direct assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, each provided at a full-assistance level when required. Transfer help ranges from simple standby support to one- or two-person assists, full Hoyer lift transfers, and care for individuals who are bed bound. These layers of support aim to keep residents in place even as mobility declines.
Private and shared rooms come furnished, though families may bring personal pieces or repaint to make the space familiar. Cable connections are available in many but not all units, so confirming availability during a tour is recommended. Some rooms differ in layout and square footage, allowing families to select an option that matches both preference and budget.
Meals follow a set menu that rotates to meet nutritional guidelines, with snacks offered between dining periods. The kitchen team can prepare modified textures, specialized diets, and physician-ordered meal plans to accommodate medical or cultural needs. Residents who require full feeding assistance receive help from caregivers trained to maintain dignity and monitor intake accurately.
The property is wheelchair accessible throughout, offers internet access for residents who wish to stay connected, and maintains communal gardens for light outdoor activity. Public transportation stops are nearby, giving visiting family members convenient travel options.
