Welcome to Lincoln Glen -- A Caring Community for Seniors

NESTLED AMONG SIX ACRES in San Jose's Willow Glen neighborhood, Lincoln Glen Manor is dedicated to enhancing the lives of seniors by providing four levels of care.

Conceived in 1965 by the Lincoln Glen Church Congregation, Lincoln Glen Manor was built in 1969. At that time, the community felt a responsibility to care for their seniors. Thus, the concept of Lincoln Glen Manor was instituted as a caring community for seniors adjacent to Lincoln Glen Church. Today, Lincoln Glen Manor provides four levels of care for seniors.

Perhaps you are a senior citizen desiring to scale down your lifestyle from a large family home to a cozy caring community? Or maybe you are at the stage of life where you require a little help with daily activities? Possibly you are in the need of daily nursing care? Perhaps your loved one is struggling with Alzheimer's Disease or dementia? Whatever your stage of life, Lincoln Glen Manor is the optimum choice for enhancing the lives of seniors by providing independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing care.

Stay Connected: Visiting Loved Ones at Lincoln Glen

After many months of quarantine, protecting residents and families, Lincoln Glen Manor will begin offering safety conscious, in-facility visitation for residents and their families and friends. Here's how in-facility visitation works. Click on the link to the Visitation Form HERE read and accept the conditions, then complete the webform. The Activities Director will automatically receive your request and make arrangements with you and your resident.

Here's a list of the conditions required for in-facility visits regardless of vaccination status:

• Be screened for fever and COVID-19 symptoms, wear appropriate facial covering, and perform hand hygiene when in the facility.
• If personal protective equipment (PPE) is required for contact with the resident due to quarantine or COVID positive isolation status (including fully vaccinated visitors), it must be donned and doffed according to instruction by health care personnel.
• If a visitor has COVID-19 symptoms or has been in close contact with a confirmed positive case within prior 10 days, they must reschedule their visit.
• All children must be able to comply with the above requirements. Visitors who are unable to adhere to the core principles of COVID-19 infection prevention will not be permitted to visit or will be asked to leave.
• Some visits may require supervision depending upon current federal, state, county requirements.

"According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 12 million people 40 years and over in the US have vision impairment. 1 million are blind, 3 million have vision impairment after correction, and 8 million have vision impairment due to uncorrected refractive error.
