#5 Restaurant-Style Hearty Comfort Food
Three chef-prepared meals a day–and never having to do the dishes again–is one of the best parts of independent living. Executive Chef Chris has been at Lincoln Court for 15 years, and he knows what people actually want to eat—hearty, homestyle favorites. Everyone loves his homemade lasagna! You know it’s good when even the staff members choose to eat at the community every day. He also hosts a food council every month to get feedback from residents. Craving one of your homemade favorites? Give Chris the recipe, and he’ll make it happen for you.

#6 You Can Age in Place
One thing seniors really love about Lincoln Court? The ability to age in place. All of Lincoln Court’s apartments are licensed for independent living and assisted living. This means you’ll always have just the right amount of support, without needing to move to a new building or even a new apartment! While we all wish we could be fully independent forever, most of us are going to need at least a little help at some point. With the ability to add help at any point, you can maintain as much of your independence as possible, while minimizing annoying transitions.
Lincoln Court also has a highly-sought-after Memory Care wing, so even if you need that additional security later on, you won’t lose the great food, friends, and activities you’ve come to know and love.
#7 It Just Feels like Home
Some independent living communities feel like a fancy hotel, which might seem fun for a little while. But most independent seniors in Idaho Falls aren’t looking for short-term luxury…they’re looking for a long-term home. That’s exactly what Lincoln Court seniors say about this community. It has the luxury, amenities, and maintenance-free lifestyle of a resort, but it feels like the warm, comforting, and familiar place you always want to come home to.
#8 Happy, Experienced, and Dedicated Staff
The staff at Lincoln Court have a lot of experience–as in, decades. Mynde, the Life Enrichment Director responsible for all of these incredible activities, has been here for over 15 years. Kathy has been the front desk manager for 34 years. Greg has been working in the kitchen for 37 years. The staff here stay because working here feels like being part of a family. Everyone really does know each other (and all of the residents) by name. They love what they do and are passionate about working with seniors–and it shows. Seniors love being a part of this happy family.
#9 Lincoln Court is Quiet and Peaceful
