Colonial Health Care
Colonial Health Care is an 86-bed assisted living and nursing facility at 36 Workman Terrace in Lincoln, Maine. Administered by Jacqueline Libby, the facility is operated by First Atlantic Healthcare. The community is MaineCare certified and maintains memberships with the Maine Health Care Association and the American Health Care Association.
The facility currently maintains a 78% occupancy rate, with 67 of its 86 licensed beds filled. This is below the Maine state average of 83.1%. Current figures indicate that the community has available capacity to accommodate new admissions.
The Maine Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Licensing and Certification, has conducted 22 inspections here, which is more than double the state average of 10. While prior reviews were mostly in substantial compliance, the most recent inspection on May 9, 2025, cited a deficiency for a medication administration error involving an incorrect dosage. A related complaint investigation was substantiated regarding this incident. The facility maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero, and no fines or enforcement actions appear in available records.
The community accepts Medicaid and offers a full activities program alongside transportation to medical appointments. Because specific amenity counts, staffing ratios, and dining details are not publicly reported in the source data, families should request this information during a tour.
This environment suits seniors in Penobscot County seeking a dual-licensed assisted living and nursing setting. Families evaluating Colonial Health Care should ask directly about medication administration protocols and oversight procedures implemented following the substantiated May 2025 medication error before making a placement decision.
