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 Boise, Idaho office. This is my 434th 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.

Working for Brightstar has been one of the most frustrating experiences I've had in caregiving. The…read morebiggest issues are at Prickly and Summerset -- those houses are by far the worst. The house administrators don't do their jobs and leave most of the responsibilities on 18-20-year-olds who barely have proper training or experience with real caregiving. These are residents who deserve experienced, attentive care, and instead the workload gets dumped on young, overwhelmed staff while management stays in the office or disappears. When concerns are voiced or when staff ask for help to protect the residents and themselves, management doesn't listen or try to fix anything. Instead, they jump straight to threats or firing. There's no support, no accountability, and no true leadership -- just blame being pushed down onto the caregivers who are already doing more than they should. Residents deserve real care. Staff deserve proper training, leadership, and respect. Brightstar, especially at Prickly and Summerset, fails at all of that.

Do not work with Brightstar care! Whether you're an…read moreemployee or a member of the community looking for care for your family please find somewhere else! As far as being an employee I highly suggest you gain experience or use your skills elsewhere! There scheduling team is beyond unprofessional! They never fulfill "bonuses" they cut your checks, constantly schedule outside of availability! Heather is a two faced b*tch As far as care goes! People in the facilities are aggressive, and care often gets put on the back burner! I've seen residents go hours without being cared for and man handled I definitely would not put my loved one in there facility! They never listen to any concerns, they are only worried about making their money! Horrible business, if I could give zero stars I would!
