Assisted Living Communities in Falmouth, ME

"The Highlands was a nice place. The staff seemed to be pretty courteous. The rooms and the common areas seemed very nice and very clean."

"My friend moved into Plant Memorial Home a week ago. The administration there is fantastic. They helped with every step of the process. It's a very homey place. It's more like being in your own home. The location is beautiful, and the people are wonderful. They really care about the residents. The medical attention they show him has been excellent. They're on top of his medication, his physical therapy, and occupational therapy needs. They have been very communicative with me any time they had a question or I had a question. His apartment is clean, bright, and cheerful. The floors are brand new. They have big, spacious, and handicapped accessible bathrooms. They have a kitchenette. It is freshly painted. He has a stunning view of the river. My friend says that the food is excellent. He loves to eat, so the food must really be good. I ate there the day I moved my friend in, and the food was excellent. He enjoys socializing with other people in the common room. They have a movie every night after dinner. People can go down and watch TV during the day, if they want to. They do trivia, and they have a pastor that comes for Christian services. They organize outings. They can go to the grocery store on the bus once a week, and they can go to Wal-Mart once a month. They have an exercise class. Last time I was there, I saw a bunch of paintings that the residents had done at a painting class."

"My parents just moved to Clover Health Care up in Auburn. My father moved to their memory care and my mother followed. Everything's been great and they've been very helpful. They've been working overtime trying to help with getting insurance all taken care of, because that was quite difficult. We don't know how insurance could be and we're still trying to iron out some of it, but they're able to get my parents in there for the time being. I've only been there a couple of times, and only there to see my dad before my mother moved in. It's a very clean place. The staff also seems incredibly friendly and attentive. We really don't have any complaints about them as of yet. Their common areas are very nice and very clean. There is a courtyard outside that seems nice. It's in the middle of the winter, so it's kind of hard to see right now, but everything is clean and adequate for my parents. The only thing is that Dad can't go visit Mom in her area. Mom can go visit Dad though, so at least that's allowed. I guess the memory care people can't go out of their area. That's the only bummer about it."

"My wife moved into Huntington Common. The building is excellent and set up very well, so people can easily find their way around. The staff is excellent, very supportive, and devoted to their jobs. I've been most impressed with the staff. Many of them have been there for some time. Her room is good-sized. The place is very well-kept, and the food is good. They do bus and van tours. They have a library and two garden areas. It's lovely and very peaceful."

"I visited Atria Kennebunk. The tour was very nice. The rooms were nice, and very good size. The upkeep was very good. The staff was very good during the tour. The best feature of the room was the size and the overall decor. Their dining area was very nice. They have a gym, gardens, and an exercise program geared towards assisted living."

"My mother ended up staying in Schooner Estates. It is a comfortable country setting. It is near family. The staff and management are just wonderful. They go above and beyond. They go out of their way to help, make things livable, and make it more like home. They treat her like she is their family. The food is very good. They have all kinds of chair exercises and different things to do. They have entertainment come in to keep them busy. If you want, they'll take you out to different places. They have a van to take a group out. It is just that they can't give nursing home care; they don't have that available. They have a piano room, an exercise room, and hairdressers. We are getting what we pay for, but it's still quite expensive."

"My father has been moved in to Foreside Harbor for a week now. We have another relative that has been there for two years, so we were very pleased that they had an opening as we are familiar there. The rooms and apartments are beautiful, spacious, and clean. I went over there for lunch today. I had seafood Alfredo, and it was very good. The dining room is beautiful. It’s right on the ocean and has a beautiful view. The people in the dining room are kind of like waiters and waitresses; they really attend to everybody’s needs. They also know the people’s dietary restriction. If somebody orders something that they are not supposed to have, then they’re on that as well. They have a lot of entertainment that comes in, people that do lectures, play games, and movies. They have a lady there with a van, and she does shopping, they have tours, and they have arts and crafts. I think the security and safety is excellent. The price sucks you out, but they are right in tune with everybody else. "

"I liked the fact that Ocean View at Falmouth was large and that they had a lot of activities going on. They sent out emails on updating things and they seemed to be on top of everything. The only problem I have with that place is that it's too expensive. They were wonderful and they had everything. Their rooms had some interesting layouts. They were very nice. The atmosphere was very uplifting. I liked the fact that it's on the water too."

"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 staff at Heron House are so welcoming !!! A wonderful place with dedicated people. Everyone works together to keep it such a special place for those that are lucky enough to find it !!! "

"We found Fallbrook Woods. It fit our needs for our aunt, and intake went very smoothly. So far everything's good. It hasn't been that long, just three weeks. The interaction with the staff has been over the phone, email, and text. Everything, has been very congenial. It's been very convenient. All the interaction has been quite exceptional. I know they have exercise classes. They have gardening and a library."

"I knew someone at The Cedars and they showed me their unit and I discussed with them what they thought of the place. It's a little pricey, but it's excellent. It could be a little warmer, but the windows in the unit were well designed and well presented, and they could give you good exposure to the sun and to daylight. I liked the cleanliness."

"I have been a nurse for 38 years, and found myself a post operative lumbar spinal fusion with a husband not well enough to care for me. I requested a rehabilitation center near my home in Portland. Seaside was the center closest. I was there twelve days, and the only thing I can find to complain about was the food. EVERY person involved in my care was OUTSTANDING! From the RN's to the cleaning staff... every single person, every single day, evening, and night. I was treated with respect, dignity and kindness by everyone I met. The nurses and CNA's are very dedicated, often working extra hours and shifts. In my experience, people don't have that kind of work ethic unless they love their jobs! I can't thank the people there enough for their excellence in my care. "

"I had read the reviews before I toured with my mother and was honestly expecting the worst. I have to say that I was very impressed! The Portland Center was very clean and a number of the residents stopped to talk with my mother as they recognized her from elderly apartments. There was choir practice going on in one room and Bingo in another room. I looked in a few rooms and though clean and neat, the shared rooms are livable but small. They did have some construction going on during our visit, but we were told ahead of time what to expect. My mother decided that she's not ready for facility living, but we would probably choose Portland Center when she's ready. Thank you."
