Our dad was at the Lincoln Home for about 15 months. I can't say enough about the staff there that took wonderful care of him. The staff there loved my dad and loved talking with him and helping him out whenever he needed assistance. The food at the Lincoln Home was wonderful and they catered to his love of coffee ice cream and Moxie. We still talk about his stay there and what a great experience it was for him. They really made it feel like he was part of a family while he was at the Lincoln Home. We feel lucky that he was in such a special place. Our family and his friends saw how well my dad settled in while living there. He often commented how much he enjoyed the staff and how well they took care of him. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Lincoln Home to anyone that was looking for an Assisted Living home.

I can't say enough about the care my mother-in-law received at The Lincoln Home. The small, home like environment was a perfect fit - staff go above and beyond to support each resident as an individual and treat them like family. There were always plenty of fun activities, opportunities for companionship. She absolutely loved and looked forward to delicious meals every day. One of the chefs used to make her favorite chocolate chip cookies and send them to her room! A caregiver learned her favorite author and bought books for her when she had read through the library's offerings! Especially during COVID, it was such a relief to all of us that she was being so well cared for, her medications were managed, her needs met and she was being nurtured during a time we could only visit by telephone. We will forever be grateful to the LH staff for providing such a kind and caring environment.

I am a senior care professional, and the owner/director of a small Assisted Living serving women exclusively, Elm Street Assisted Living in Topsham. I have had two residents previously who had progressed to requiring safe and secure memory care. I referred the families to a few places, and both selected the Harbor View Cottage at The Lincoln Home. They reported their experience as excellent. I have visited the Lincoln Home and Harbor View Cottage. They are a beautiful community with a great management and care staff. I highly recommend them.
