The Lincoln Home Senior Retirement Community

The Lincoln Home Senior Retirement Community sits along the Damariscotta River in Midcoast Maine, and the river views are really something, especially from the new and spacious apartments or the riverside dining room where the culinary team serves three meals a day with locally sourced, creative dishes, which means special treats and special diets like allergy-sensitive or diabetes meals are available when needed, and folks can always find a comfortable spot whether they're in the cozy library upstairs, the big living room downstairs, or out on a garden path. Residents get help with daily things like bathing, dressing, and medication, and there are always caregivers close by if extra support is needed, so everyone can feel secure, especially with the 24-hour call system and emergency alerts set up throughout the two-story community. The place has a small, homey feel, and the staff puts a lot of effort into making everyone feel like family, whether it's by offering private rooms looking out at the water, or making sure all sorts of social and creative activities are happening-things like arts and crafts, exercise classes, writing memoirs, sing-alongs, movie nights, and seasonal lobster feeds, which seem to be a favorite. There's a newsletter called RIVER VIEWS that keeps folks up to date with what's going on, and the activity rooms stay active with puzzles, games, and community-sponsored events, giving everyone a chance to both relax and engage. The Lincoln Home has assisted living for those who want extra help but still value their independence, along with memory care for folks with dementia or Alzheimer's in a part of the community that's calm and secure, plus skilled nursing, respite care, and even adult day and home health services to support different needs as life changes. Everything's accessible for wheelchairs, and there's transportation, housekeeping, and laundry services, with options for studio or one-bedroom apartments if someone's looking for a new place to settle in. The Lincoln Home is a non-profit, small place that puts an emphasis on compassion, person-centered care, and a chance to enjoy both the outdoors and community life, with plenty of laughter and creative opportunities to make every day a bit brighter.
