Assisted Living Communities in Falmouth, ME

"My father is on a waiting list at Plant Home because they only have 5 market-rate apartments. Everything seems fine, and I think it’s a fine facility. The staff is very good, very helpful, and forthcoming with information that put our minds at ease. It was affordable for my father. "

"Falmouth by the Sea was a very small facility. The rooms were lovely. The refrigerators were small, but they were willing to work with the individual to assist with that and if something else was needed. I didn't see much going on there. They had had a COVID breakout, so they were keeping things pretty locked down. I didn't see a lot of people out and about like I did at another facility. Things were pretty quiet. The staff I met were wonderful though."

"Husband and I have toured this facility twice - once at an open house in 2018 and again after the pandemic lock-down in May 2021. We went the second time to have a closer look and were very impressed with what we saw. The facility is old - its been there a long time, has been expanded BUT it looked brand new! We toured the main building and looked at apartments/condos. (No interest in the cottages - we already have a house) It was clean, smelled fresh, full of smiling people and the units were up-to-date - even solar panels on the roofs. The activity calendar was overflowing! The pool is now open year round and the new fitness center is state-of-the-art. The first time we visited, they were reluctant to discuss anything medical. (we were concerned about possible future issues) but this time we had a personal tour and the guide/sales rep answered ALL our questions. They do have assisted living on the campus and you have the option of hiring private staff if you choose. We liked what we saw and heard. Its at the top of our budget but close enough to where we are to keep our current routines. We put ourselves on the wait list. "

"My mother was a resident for 5 months until her passing. The staff were very and attentive to my mother and our families needs. Mom was very well cared for. I had great comfort in knowing she was safe and every need was met. Mom loved the food and was happy there. This facility was a blessing when I could no longer care for her at home."

"The Heron House was a very homey, welcoming place. The owner seemed lovely and very nice. The rooms were very clean. I was quite impressed with it. It looked like there was new carpeting and nice new half bath fixtures. Just that my mother-in-law wanted a private bath, a and the shower they had was shared with 8 to 10 of the residents."

"Fallbrook Woods was very nice but not at all homey. The staff was fine and very technically oriented and sophisticated. I could feel that it was more a business rather than a care facility. They were very business-like. I didn't get to see any of the individual rooms because they were too busy to show them to me that day, and I just felt like the public areas were very crowded. "

"Our experience with The Osher Inn has been very positive. They seem to be attentive to my mother's needs. I picked it because it's local to me, and it was a continuation of her rehab, so it was the same facility. The dining area is not relevant to her right now, but the food needs improvement. They have lots of different activities, from shopping to arts and crafts to movies to everything, but my mother doesn't partake in those yet. She's been there for almost a week. They're very supportive and encouraging for her to do activities, etc."

"This is the fourth time I've been at Seaside. This time I am here for nursing home care since I injured my cervical spine in a fall 3 1/2 years ago. I have received great care here. The physical therapy department is topnotch, the nurses are professional, and transportation is provided to all my appointments. Due to COVID, the facility is short-staffed, but the CNA's have worked long and busy hours to meet our needs, and they have done so admirably. I love my room and the friends I have made here, and I'm happy to be here. "

"My mother wanted to be in this facility as she new someone there that she grew up with. Following through with her wishes and worried about many bad reviews we went ahead with moving in. I also have many concerns with nursing care not returning ph calls and you cant get though often at many times.my family is very appreciated of the activity dept.as they have a wide variety of option for many diff. Residents. I had on different occassion seen how happy the residents are with the activity girl. The comfort, energy,and happiness shows she loves her job. My mother has changed for the better please have staff follow her good example "

"The employees of Stroudwater Lodge were so kind and friendly. The apartments were beautiful. It was very neat, clean, bright, and had an open layout. They also have laundry, housekeeping, and you can get food basically whenever you want or need. They have a nice outdoor space, patio chairs, and tables. There were a lot of activities going on that you could choose to join or not. They have a grocery shopping day where they take them to the grocery store, and typically, prior to COVID, they would go out and get ice cream."

"My mother-in-law was in Springbrook Center for rehab and I got a frantic call that she was unresponsive and rushed to the hospital and that she had almost died. She had fallen there and nobody told us. It's not recorded in her medical notes. We had a horrible experience there. Her room was sparse, but it was clean. When you walked into the facility, it smelled like urine and like a toilet. She had a private room and her own bathroom, and it was very nice. We had one nurse's aide that was very good. She was always in her room by herself and she watched television in her room by herself. It looked to me like they had not done much maintenance. They just clean it and that's it. It's in need of some help."

"We visited Avita of Stroudwater. It was very nice, no smell, and very clean. The people were very friendly. It was top ranking from the ones I'm looking at. The staff was wonderful and very nice, and they all said hi whenever you ran into somebody. It seemed like they knew the residents' names. They were very involved with the people there, and that's what was impressive. The food and the chef were very good. They do brain games, pet therapy, etc. "

"The only place I visited was the HarborChase of South Portland. The staff there was friendly and welcoming. They showed me around. The only reason we didn't choose it was because it was brand new, and we needed somebody to be there for my father daily because of his issues that he had. They actually showed me the memory care, which I didn't want that at first because he wasn't a threat or anything like that. He just needed to have somebody check on him. He can dress himself and all that stuff; that's why we wanted more of an assisted, instead of more like a nursing home (which is what the memory care is to me). I just kind of walked through, and there were just barely a few people there. The staff showed me two or three places in there where they could eat, and they were all really nice places. They have activities and stuff like that daily."

"Not only were the facilities clean and bright,but the staff were enthusiastic, genuine and caring. It was clear that every resident is cherished. "
