Alden Lincoln Rehab & Health Care Center offers 24/7 skilled nursing care for people who need help for a short time, like after surgery or illness, or for those with ongoing health problems. Nurses and trained staff help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and medication, and they monitor vital signs and provide wound care and IV therapy, so you know there's always someone to check on you if you need it, and therapists help with physical, occupational, and speech therapy-sometimes you see folks going down the hall for therapy or heading outside on the walking path when the weather's nice. The center's got memory care and hospice services, and you can come for respite care if caregivers need a break themselves, which can be a comfort for families.
The place has 96 beds and is a for-profit, corporation-owned facility, with 10 certified beds recently available and it takes both Medicaid and Medicare, so it fits people with different financial needs. Nurses cover 12 to 16 hours each day, and there's extra non-ambulatory care if you need more support. The rooms are furnished and come with private bathrooms, cable TV, kitchenettes, phones, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and the dining services have a restaurant-style setting, with a professional chef and special diets for folks with allergies or diabetes; you can eat with friends in the dining room or sometimes just want to tuck into a meal in the room on quieter days.
There's help with moving in, and the staff do housekeeping, laundry, transport planning, and concierge services, so day-to-day things are managed, leaving more time to join in activities if you like, such as music programs, arts and crafts, movie nights, and fitness sessions, and the grounds feature a garden and outdoor common spaces with walking paths. Amenities include a community room, activity room, arts room, library, game room, spa or wellness room, movie theater, and fitness room, and the schedule has both staff-run and resident-run activities, so you can join in when you want to keep active or make friends.
They run some special rehabilitation programs-OrthopedicPro for joints and bones, CardioPro for heart recovery, PulmonaryPro for lung care, NeuroStrokePro for stroke rehab, along with what they call post-acute and transition care, all aimed to help you recover safely and as quickly as possible. There's also medication management and management for wounds and complex health needs, so care covers a lot of ground.
Alden Lincoln Rehab & Health Care Center isn't perfect, as it's had some health inspection citations and a federal fine of $8,512 in the past three years, plus one Medicare payment denial and 19 reported deficiencies, including some about infection control and resident rights, so that's something families might want to know, and it scores about average, with a CMS overall rating of two stars, a three-star rating from U.S. News & World Report, a three-star rating for quality, but a low staffing rating of one star, which can impact care at busy times.
It's not part of a continuing care retirement community, and the main language is English, so communication matches most residents' needs. The facility offers legal and advocacy resources for residents and works to ensure people's rights and dignity are respected. The staff is supposed to follow protocols to prevent neglect and harm, and while concerns about supervision and care have come up before, the goal is to keep everyone as healthy and independent as possible in a comfortable, supportive setting with modern amenities.
