Assisted Living & Memory Care in Lincoln, California
Last updated October 22, 2026 · Reviewed by Roberto Hategan, CEO & Founder
Lincoln's senior care landscape is shaped heavily by Sun City Lincoln Hills, the large active-adult community that drew thousands of retirees to the area over the past two decades. Many families here are looking for the next step after a parent can no longer manage independently in Sun City, and want something nearby so friends and a spouse can still visit easily. Closer to historic downtown Lincoln and Twelve Bridges, smaller board and care homes serve a wider range of residents and budgets.
The Roseville hospitals are the main hospitals families rely on, about twenty to twenty-five minutes south on Highway 65. Sutter Auburn Faith Hospital is a similar distance to the east. Because Lincoln itself has no hospital, we look closely at ambulance response patterns and which home's staff has handled hospital transfers before.
The honest local factor in Lincoln is that it's still growing quickly, and new construction means some roads and intersections near Twelve Bridges see regular delays. We factor that into how we think about realistic visiting times, not just the distance shown on a map.
There are 23 homes in Lincoln.

Ways to pay for care in Lincoln
Private pay
Most families pay with income, Social Security, pensions and savings. Some sell a home to cover a few years of care.
Long-term care insurance
If there's a policy, start the claim early. Most policies have a waiting period and need a doctor to confirm care needs.
VA Aid & Attendance
A monthly benefit for some wartime veterans and surviving spouses who need help with daily care. A Veterans Service Officer can help you apply for free.
Medi-Cal Assisted Living Waiver
Not offered in Placer County. Standard Medi-Cal pays for nursing homes, not assisted living. Ask us about lower-cost board and care options. Some Medi-Cal health plans may also help pay for the care part of assisted living (not rent), so ask your health plan what it offers.
Medicare doesn't pay for assisted living or board and care.

Which type of care is right?
- Board and care suits someone frail, at high fall risk, or easily overwhelmed by a big building. A house with about six residents and one or two caregivers means very personal attention.
- Assisted living suits someone still social and mobile who should not be cooking, driving, or handling medications alone. More activities and more people, with less one-to-one attention.
- Memory care is for dementia that has become unsafe: wandering, nighttime confusion, or needs the current home cannot meet. The setting is secured and the staff are trained for it.

Questions from Lincoln families
It depends on the home, the room and the level of care, so we don't post one number. Board and care homes are often the most affordable option, and memory care usually costs the most. Call us and we'll get you current all-in prices from homes in Lincoln that have openings.
Yes. Several board and care homes and a few assisted living communities sit within a short drive of Sun City Lincoln Hills, which makes it easier for a spouse or longtime neighbor to keep visiting regularly after a move.
Yes, though most are located about twenty minutes south in Roseville or Rocklin since Lincoln itself has fewer large memory care communities. We help families weigh that drive time against the quality of fit for their parent's needs.
Standard Medi-Cal doesn't pay for room and board in assisted living. California's Medi-Cal Assisted Living Waiver can help in 15 counties, but Placer County isn't one of them. Sacramento County is, though the waitlist is long. Some Medi-Cal health plans may also help pay for the care part of assisted living (not rent), so ask your health plan what it offers. Call us and we'll walk through realistic options for your budget.
