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.

Lincoln Glen Nursing Facility. Pratyush will receive his award at the 2017 Summer Conference

Pratyush has been a steadfast, reliable volunteer for two years.

New Partnership with Dementia Friends
From the Dementia Friends USA website, we learn that it "is a global movement that is changing the way
people think, act, and talk about dementia. Developed by the Alzheimer’s Society in the United
Kingdom, the Dementia Friends initiative is underway in the USA. By helping everyone in a
community understand what dementia is and how it affects people, each of us can make a difference
for people touched by dementia."
"A Dementia Friend is someone who, through viewing a series of online videos, learns about what
it's like to live with dementia and then turns that understanding into action. From telling
friends about the Dementia Friends program to visiting someone who is living with dementia,
every action counts. Anyone of any age can be a Dementia Friend – we all have a part to play
in creating dementia friendly communities!"

New Ways to Volunteer at Lincoln Glen
Lincoln Glen Activities Department introduces a
new program for our volunteers.
We
offer many special events to residents each year. Now, it's easier
than ever to volunteer. We've joined iVolunteer Online, a new

iVolunteer Online program lists upcoming Lincoln Glen activities,
lets you select a volunteer job, and sends a confirmation email to
you and to our Activities department. It's easy and we believe it
will help you connect with us and keep us connected with you, as
well.
We have added the iVolunteer Online link to the
Volunteer web page here
on our website. On the volunteer page please click on the
iVolunteer Online link and you will find a
list of events that need your support. At the iVolunteer
Online-Lincoln Glen page you may select the volunteer jobs you would
like. Once you've selected an event and a job, you'll receive a
confirmation email.
NOTE: Before using the new program, all our
volunteers complete Orientation and the application process. Thanks
