Dirigo Pines was really nice. It's a place that I would absolutely love to go to. All your needs are met and everything's included, but it's just a tremendous amount of money. I went there in 2021, so I'm sure it's gone up since then with the price of oil and everything else. The person that gave the tour was very nice. Everyone up there was just fabulous. The apartments were very nice, too. Everything was immaculate and just gorgeous. The dining area was nice.

Dirigo Pines was a high-end community. Their apartments were much newer and nicer. It's more up-to-date and modern, yet not as warm and friendly as the other facility we went to. I didn't meet very many staff. Their menu was much more upscale, but there were only two meals a day.

Dirigo Pines was gorgeous. It's a brand new facility. If only my mom was not quite as far down the Alzheimer's trail, that would be a good placement. It's beautiful and the staff seemed very nice.

I found Dirigo Pines for my husband. He hasn't been there yet, but I liked the way that management handled the information part of it, and the outside grounds are perfect for my loved one, and I think they're well trained. It looked very good. The tour was very good and very informative. They were very nice. Everybody was very welcoming. The staff members that were actually working in the dementia care unit were very friendly, and you could see the rapport with their clients there was great. It has a nice layout, very welcoming, and warm. They have a lot of activities. They have outside activities and inside activities. They have laundry, hair care, and transportation to doctor's offices, and to different locations.

My family member had been living in independent living for 18 months and recently moved to the Arbor. The staff at Dirigo Pines helped us along every step of the way getting her moved and has done everything possible to make the move easier for her. They're quick to contact us if there is an issue and open to questions from us or offering guidance on how to navigate the seemingly constant changes in our family member. I couldn't imagine not having this amazing support from such an outstanding team of staff. Thank you!
