I placed my mom here and I appreciate the genuinely kind, compassionate staff, decent food, active calendar and a lovely courtyard - care and hospice support were available and administrators were responsive. That said the building is dated, sometimes unclean, and chronic understaffing (weekends worse) led to lapses in basic care, shared rooms, poor shift communication and maintenance issues. Good value if you want warm, caring people over a modern facility - recommend with reservations.
Lincoln Retirement Villa, sometimes called Lincoln Villa, sits in Fremont, California, and really tries to feel like a home to the people who live there, so you'll notice friendly staff and a nice, calm atmosphere where folks help each other out and know each other's stories. The place provides assisted living, memory care, independent living, and nursing care, with a continuing care retirement community setup where seniors can get all the help they need as they age, and there's always someone around-staff are available 24 hours a day for both ambulatory and non-ambulatory adults, which means help is there for things like bathing, toileting, or medication reminders, so you don't have to worry if something unexpected happens at night. The license administrator is Mr. Nonie Dominguez, with Mrs. Deborah Brown as licensee administrator, and they manage about 40 employees who take the time to listen to every resident, so services and support get matched to the needs of each person.
You'll find registered nurses who do health screenings and work alongside doctors, offering suggestions that might make treatments work better, and there's a nurse navigator plus a wellness coordinator who make sure everyone has a plan that actually fits their health and lifestyle needs, which makes it easier to age well and stay comfortable. The community uses a relationship-based care approach, meaning staff spend time learning about each resident's life stories, personal interests, and habits, so folks here get more understanding and thoughtful help instead of one-size-fits-all answers, and that matters, especially when someone is going through memory or health changes.
The activities at Lincoln Retirement Villa cover a lot-social events, games, exercise and fitness options, group meals, and other programs that encourage people to get together, stay moving, and keep their minds busy, and because the place is pet friendly, residents can keep their animals nearby for company. For meals, there's a family-style dining room and the kitchen works with flexible and complimentary diet plans, so whether someone needs certain foods or just enjoys a home-cooked meal, everyone gets what works for them.
There's a secure courtyard and therapeutic garden where residents can just relax or get some sun, and the common areas inside are bright and safe, so you don't need to worry about getting around, whether you walk well or need a little help. For folks who want to stay connected to their old hobbies or friendships, there are plenty of on-site activities and even transportation for outings. Staff also help with diabetic, incontinence, hospice, and respite care. The team is trained for adult day care, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and general counseling. There's always someone nearby to hear a concern or offer support, and you'll notice they focus on kindness and gentle encouragement, so it can be much easier to feel at home even while getting help with daily life.
Lincoln Retirement Villa gives seniors a chance to make new friends, form routines that suit them, and have as much independence as possible, all in an environment that stays clean, cozy, and well cared for, which is really important for people and their families who want a good place to live as they age.
