The Lincoln Home was surveyed by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services in mid-June and was pronounced deficiency-free. Every licensed senior living community in Maine is surveyed every two years by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services and cannot operate if the required regulations are not met.
The survey includes a variety of research, such as a review of resident and employee records, medication administration standard of practice, dining and food handling standards, community life events, and safety regulations, as well and cleanliness and operational standards.
“This is the 11th survey I have participated in at The Lincoln Home and I was beyond proud that this staff earned a perfect survey. It was astounding,” said Lincoln Home Executive Director Lynn Norgang. “Our philosophy here is that the state survey is a tool to help The Lincoln Home improve in every way possible, and the surveyor is our partner in our plan of excellence. Every day, we are survey-ready and survey days are no different than any other day.”
A huge thank-you goes to all of the staff at The Lincoln Home and to Lincoln Home Director of Nursing Millie Jones Farnham for their commitment and constant vigilance to excellence, while being kind and caring every day of the year. It is because of this commitment and dedication that The Lincoln Home scored a perfect survey.
