The Commons in Lincoln

Marla

I toured The Commons in Lincoln. They had an entrance fee. I thought their prices were very high compared to the other ones I visited. It was a group tour, so it wasn't a one-on-one, although I was able to get answers to my questions. The rooms were not impressive. They were average size, but I thought the community was expensive for what it offered. And I wasn't impressed with some of the bathrooms. The one thing I worry about myself is that I'm pre-diabetic and I have neuropathy, and so I thought their showers were really hard to get into. I wasn't impressed with that, and I wasn't impressed with the building itself, even though they kept the independent living again separate. Even though it was on a lot of land, and there were places to walk and stuff. Overall, given the value and the layout, I wasn't that impressed. I met a couple, and they were very nice and very with it. They had a lovely home. Although the apartments had lovely porches and views, and the land was pretty, I didn't like the bathroom and the value for money. I've met a lot of people who were cleaning up, but I didn't meet any of their medical staff. The guy in the gym was friendly. They had a nice gym and a pool. The staff was friendly and very professional.

The Commons in Lincoln is excellent. The whole facility and the staff are wonderful. Mom has no complaints at all about the food. They have a swimming pool, lots of activities, and ways to get transportation to different places. If you needed more care, they have people that would come in. She has two meals per day that she could just have them take care of. They also have an exercise room, an art room, and a great room where they have music, bocce, and all kinds of other activities. They have wonderful grounds. Mom loves going for a walk so she could go for walks for around the grounds. Lincoln has many, many miles of paths and grocery stores nearby. It's just everything she needed. They have lots of concerts. Before COVID, they had children come in whom the residents had interactions with. Then they have exercise classes, as well as religious services, music, art classes, and lectures about all different topics including geography and politics.

I went to The Commons in Lincoln. It's very good. They are very organized to get many people in one tour. We went to visit the rooms and their facilities. I feel they're really organized to let us know everything we need to know. They are very clean, and I think they take care of the residents very well. When we visited the room, someone already lived there, and they allowed us to get in. The staff is very professional and very good at presenting. They gave us a surprise present to bring home. They have wellness there, and we also went to meet the instructor that is taking care of the wellness part. They are very flexible with the room. They say if you move in, you can renovate the way you want it. Every room has a different layout. After the people leave, they renovate it. It's not like other senior living that just have two or three styles of layout. I think The Commons in Lincoln is the best one I saw.

I'm moving into The Commons in Lincoln. It's lovely. They've got a swimming pool, athletics facility, lectures, classes, and they do activities with the residents, that's why I chose it. They provided breakfast, and it was excellent.

The staff at The Commons in Lincoln was very pleasant and friendly. Their activities were a lot more challenging and diverse than other facilities, and they had a lot of things that I would be interested in. The community was fully developed, but there were some areas where you can walk.

We are planning to move to The Commons. We're going there to be near our son, and we're moving to assisted living. It's brand-new; it just opened in April, and that would be good because the people would be new to assisted living as we would be and presumably be in good health. It's a nice place.
