Lincoln Court Assisted & Senior Living sits right in the middle of Idaho Falls, and it serves folks from nearby places like Ammon, Shelley, Blackfoot, and Rigby. The community is for adults aged 55 and older and has different types of care, including Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Skilled Nursing, and Continuing Care Retirement Communities, so you can shift between care levels when health needs change. People who live there can pick from studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, which are known for being pretty large and easy to make homey with personal things. Each unit has kitchenettes with mini-fridges and microwaves, walk-in closets, private bathrooms with grab bars, an emergency call system, and rooms have windows for natural light and even emergency response pendants. The bathrooms have fluffy towels and are made so seniors can move around safely.
The place has both community areas and quiet spots. There's a big dining room offering all-day, restaurant-style dining with three meals cooked by chefs, plus a bistro for coffee and pastries. Residents have access to a library, a theater, a fitness center with daily exercise classes, billiards room, gym, and a recreation room. Outside, the courtyards have lush landscaping, lots of picnic tables, and raised garden beds for those who like fresh air or gardening. The lounge areas have comfy chairs and couches, sometimes close to a big fireplace or looking out at the yard. A beauty salon and barber shop are on-site for haircuts and style, and there's a full-time concierge to organize social or activity schedules.
Lincoln Court has a long list of weekly activities-sometimes up to 40 or 50 weekly, with outings on the shuttle bus, trips on city public transit, or rides for doctor appointments. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services are included, so chores are lighter for residents. Seniors can have pets, and there's plenty of parking for those still driving. Social and leisure activities fill up the calendar and encourage folks to mingle, with quiet corners for when you'd rather read in the well-stocked library or just take it easy. Safety's important, and a highly-trained team is always there, 24 hours a day, to handle emergencies or answer questions.
Memory Care has specialized programs for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, providing custom plans and a secured, calming environment. Independent seniors can enjoy maintenance-free apartments plus social events for fun. If you need more help, Assisted Living offers personal care and help with everyday tasks, yet there's no need to change apartments if care needs increase since support can start whenever required. The building is single-story and has elevators, so it's easy to get around. People can choose from a few different types of apartment layouts, including what many say are the largest in the area.
The community's atmosphere is friendly and quiet, welcoming family engagement and trying to help residents keep their privacy, independence, and dignity as much as possible. There's a strong sense of safety, and a home-like feel, with care levels and programs tailored to what each person needs, whether they're active and independent or need more daily assistance.
