Lincoln, Massachusetts
Home care in Lincoln, Massachusetts
Lincoln is quiet, spread out and largely without sidewalks, so driving is usually the first thing that has to be solved. Emerson and Lahey are both within reach for the appointments that follow.
After the hospital
Coming home from Emerson Hospital
The discharge paperwork tells you what happened in the hospital. It does not tell you who is going to be at the house at seven in the morning when getting out of bed is the hardest thing of the day.
For a Lincoln household we can usually be there within a day of the discharge: same caregiver, same hours, a short written note after every visit, and a call to you the same day if anything looks different.
Nearest hospitals
- Emerson Hospital
- Lahey Hospital & Medical Center
Typical start
Within about 24 hours of a discharge, most weeks.
Day to day
What we help with in Lincoln
- Transport when driving has stopped being safe
- Longer visits that make the drive worthwhile for the household
- Meals, laundry and household upkeep in a large house
- Regular check-ins for someone living alone on a rural road
This is non-medical care. We do not provide skilled clinical services, and we will say so on the first call if that is what the situation needs.
Local help beyond what we do
Plenty of what Lincoln families need is not something we sell: meals, a heating bill, a ride, help understanding Medicare. The aging services agency for Lincoln is the right first call for those, and they cost nothing.
