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.

New resource for seniors: Vision Center - Aging and Eyesight
Have you thought about eyesight and how it
changes through the years? Here's some information from
the Vision Center that you'll find useful as you notice
changes in vision over the years. "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. Many
changes take place in our eyes as we get older. Common
conditions due to age include, presbyopia, cataracts,
glaucoma, macular degeneration.
"Vision Center is an informational web guide created for
those seeking vision related information and other vision
correction options. All content published on Vision Center
