The Commons in Lincoln offers assisted-living care designed for older adults who need help with daily activities while still maintaining as much independence as possible. Licensed nurses are on site around the clock to monitor health conditions, manage medications, and respond to emergencies. Staff coordinate with outside physicians and therapists, arranging skilled services such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy when ordered. Routine health checks, scheduled transportation to medical appointments, and an in-house emergency call system aim to ensure changes in a resident’s condition are addressed promptly.
Beyond direct medical oversight, the community delivers individualized support with bathing, dressing, mobility, and continence care. Care plans are developed upon move-in, reviewed regularly, and adjusted when needs change. A structured wellness program includes exercise classes, fall-prevention training, and health education sessions. Family members receive regular updates, and a secure record-keeping system helps the care team track progress and any interventions.
Residences range from studio to two-bedroom layouts, each designed with seniors’ safety in mind. Standard features may include step-free showers, grab bars, emergency pull cords, individually controlled heating and cooling, kitchenettes, and basic cable, but not every apartment contains every feature. Weekly housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are included, and residents can add optional services such as additional housekeeping or laundry for an extra fee.
Dining services provide three chef-prepared meals each day, served restaurant-style with table service. A registered dietitian reviews menus to ensure they meet nutritional guidelines and accommodate common clinical diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, and heart-healthy plans. Residents may request substitutes at each meal, and snacks and beverages are available throughout the day. Staff monitor dietary intake and coordinate with nursing if changes in appetite or weight are noted.
Amenities and services focus on keeping residents engaged and socially connected. On-site programming includes cultural, educational, and social events that range from guest lectures to hobby groups. An activity center serves as the hub for classes, games, and small group gatherings.
