"Disability is natural. We must stop believing that disabilities keep a person from doing…read moresomething. Because that's not true . . . Having a disability doesn't stop me from doing anything." ― Benjamin Snow, Grade 8, in his essay "Attitudes About People with Disabilities" Serving others for nearly 30 years! Living Independence Network Company A.K.A. LINC is a local service agency that cares for people with disabilities, all levels, focusing on ability within their disability and helping them to be as independent as possible. My mother-in-law gets services through this agency and I help her with many of them. Linc is very helpful for families by learning available resources and support. This is the first review of the Caldwell, Idaho office. This is my 435th review. There are many different services that Linc provides and in three cities: Boise, Calwell, and Twin Falls. Some of the services they provide are: Advocacy: Call them if you're experiencing a problem in relation to how you live with your disability. Whether it's a landlord, employer, local business, and the such, Linc will help you by speaking on behalf of you, writing a letter for you, or acting for you. This is a very important part of social work and for people living with disabilities. Independence Living Services: The will help locate housing for you, train you to live independently: budgeting, renting an apartment, working with Health and Welfare and much more! Personal Care Services: They will help you hire, train, and pay employees to help you through the Medicaid program. Help can be cooking, cleaning, hygiene and other quality of life tasks. Transportation: They hell you apply for assistance with transportation such as medical taxi (Medicaid/Medicare pays), and discounted transportation such as taxi and bus passes. Medical equipment loans: That's right... if you need a wheelchair, power chair, crutches, CPAP machine, you can call Linc and they will help you with that. You can borrow these items for as long as you need. They also take donations of these items and many more if you ever hear about them or have some to discard. Lastly, The ramp and rail loan program. According to their website This program provides: Temporary loans of modular, portable, aluminum accessibility ramps for residences averaging 30-90 days. Only requires a fully-refundable deposit of $250 or $450, depending on size and configuration Ensures people with accessibility or mobility issues to maintain their independence and freedom. Even if you're having a family member come to visit that requires a ramp, you can borrow a rail free of charge, just put down the security deposit. Linc has been in the Treasure Valley for nearly 30 years. They have a vast amount of resources available and a database of other resources for yourself and your family. It's important to know what services are available out in the community. You never know who is going to need this knowledge. This review is going into a new "Community Resource" Yelp list which may help our community grow and overall help individuals help themselves move up Maslow's hierarchy toward self-actualization. As for my review-- I am going to post this same review on all three cities because it brings awareness and again, may help someone. The staff has always been friendly. I've dealt with the community nurse several times, they come to the participants home, and are always filled with both compassion and empathy. My brother in law is unable to walk long distances and his mobility scooter took a dump. He was unable to get a new mobility scooter due to lack of funding-- Linc provided him with a "loaner" which he can use for as long as he needs, and he once again has the independence and quality of life that we all deserve, thanks to Linc.

I received my social work degree prior to moving, but was a stay at home mom while we were gone. I was very nervous about getting back into the field, but missed the satisfaction serving people gave me. When I interviewed with Karen, the owner I left in tears. She was genuinely so kind and welcoming. Very understanding and accommodating. It was one of the best interviews I've ever been to. I was offered another position for a Home Health and Hospice agency, but chose to go with Best Home Care and Staffing based on my interview with Karen. Her heart and passion for her clients was huge. I have only been here a few months, but continue to see that passion take place as we've developed the Home Health side of the business. She is open to new ideas and does her best to help us meet our goals with in our fields of expertise. I'm grateful for an opportunity to serve on a team with similar values and appreciate the freedom we have to bounce ideas off of one another to make our clients lives better. If you are looking for a good job, try us! I'm impressed so far.

The caregivers have no idea what they are doing, they are not qualified to care for the disabled, there is no proper training. My husband and I had to remove our daughter because she was not even given the basic care, they were not giving her showers, they were not brushing her teeth or even washing her face. She had wounds that were not being properly cared for that got much worse.

Takes hours for a call back, doesn't call and let my grandma know that she sent her caregiver somewhere, my aunt is disabled and in a wheel chair. My grandma is killing herself taking care of my aunt. She fell a few months trying to help my aunt and laid on the floor for 14 hrs until someone found her, We've have wonderful caretakers ask for better specific hours to help with the needs and the management tell them no because others want the hours but yet nobody comes in during those hours. They tell certain caregivers to go different places and then not send anyone over to my grandma's. This place is a joke, if you have to send a caretaker somewhere, maybe I should suggest sending someone that isn't on a schedule to go take care of your private clients. I won't be recommending anyone to this business.
