Who are you searching for?
Residential care homes in Lincoln may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Lincoln care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.
Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Lincoln, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.
We are also serving Residential Care Home facilities in surrounding neighborhoods like Crown Pointe, Country Club and Amber Hills.
You may also consider nearby communities such as Waverly, Hickman or Yankee Hill.

Residential Care Home
The care they provide here is a 5+ they are really great. We looked at several other communities and had previous experience with others as well so we had a lot to compare it to and An Angel's Touch is really the best. Our loved one is happy here and they seem to have the sparkle in their eyes again. They have really been able to provide our loved one with a purpose; they allow the residents to help around the community by giving them little jobs here and there. The residents are not forced to do the jobs but allow them to do them if they chose to. The community is really small so it allows for plenty of one on one care; there is only about 8 residents. Bonnie here is wonderful. Amy Robins from A Place for Mom was just great. She listened to what we needed and was able to provide great service. We could not ask for anything better then An Angel's Touch we would highly recommend it.
Things are going alright. My Dad likes it. I don't have any complaints about the staff or the facility. They are doing a pretty good job.

Residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.
The cost of living in a care home depends largely on location. Since the homes are private residences, costs are tied to real estate value and therefore may vary greatly.
