Benchmark Senior Living at The Commons in Lincoln operates as a nursing home and provides round-the-clock skilled nursing care. Licensed nurses are on site 24 hours a day to handle medication administration, wound care, injections, and chronic disease monitoring. Physicians visit regularly to oversee care plans, and residents can access on-site or on-call laboratory work, imaging, and pharmacy services as needed. Post-surgical and other short-term rehabilitation stays are accommodated with physical, occupational, and speech therapy delivered in coordinated sessions.
Beyond the core medical services, the nursing team develops individualized care plans that are reviewed and updated frequently with input from physicians, therapists, and family members. The community arranges transportation for off-site dialysis, specialist appointments, and hospital follow-ups, and staff coordinate discharge summaries to keep external providers informed. Emergency response systems are in place throughout the property, and the clinical team maintains close relationships with area hospitals to support smoother transitions of care.
Resident accommodations include a variety of private and semi-private suites designed with accessibility in mind. Some units provide direct access to landscaped outdoor areas where residents can spend time in fresh air, while others may overlook communal courtyards. Features such as in-room showers, step-free thresholds, and individually controlled HVAC are available in many, but not all, living spaces.
Meals are prepared on site three times a day, and menus are overseen by a dietitian to ensure compliance with medical and cultural dietary requirements. Residents who need modified textures, diabetic meal plans, or low-sodium options can receive them without extra charge. Staff provide assistance in the dining room for those who need help with mobility or feeding, and tray service is arranged for residents who are recovering in their rooms.
The community maintains an activity center that hosts daily programs, and residents can choose from a calendar that includes cultural, educational, and social events. A library and computer lounge offers quiet space for reading, internet access, and video calls with family.
