Brentwood Center for Health & Rehabilitation

This facility was the only one available in southern Maine at the time we had to place my Stepdad! We had a family emergency! He was there for approximately three weeks. What a nightmare. He was “accidentally”over medicated, we assumed to keep him quiet! In my opinion, this facility is under staffed, poorly run! My 86 year old Mom is taking care of him again! He, since that stay has declined immensely! Very sad. I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU SEND YOUR LOVED ONES HERE in my opinion!

In my time spent at Brentwoods facility I was extremely pleased with the wonderful hospitality shown by the staff and nurses. I have been here on many occasions to visit ailing family members as well as friends. Many years ago my choir group performed for the residents at the facility and it brought nothing but smiles to their faces. The spirits run high at Brentwood. If I ever came into a situation where I needed to admit someone to this home I would have no hesitation to do so. The staff is extremely down to earth and make sure that their residents are taken care of and satisfied. Over the years they have done some remodeling to the facility and it looks fantastic! I highly recommend this place to anyone in need of extra care. Brentwood has been delivering great hospitality for many years now and appears to be going stronger than ever at this time.

When placing our mother in a nursing home we chose a facility that was close to our home and we knew the social worker. No a nursing home is not your home and never will be, but the staff treated mom as if she were their mom. She was loved,cleaned and fed and made a part of the community. The facility itself was clean and bright and responded to our questions and concerns. When we knew that mom was in the last few days of her life,they placed us in a private room and we were able to be with her in a more intimate way as she passed. That was 20 years ago. Since then I have had friends placed in the nursing facility and have witnessed that same loving care and home like atmosphere. I can recommend this facility without reservation to anyone looking for a skilled nursing home.

Brentwood is a really great nursing facility with many wonderful caring people that do their best with many difficult situations. Our Mother was put into Brentwood when we could no longer meet her 24 hour, 7 days a week, need for constant attention and care. She had a degenerative brain disease called Super Nuclear Palsy, and after a time, could not do anything for herself. The mind went and then the body, eventually causing death. Nursing Homes are varied in there abilities to care for people and we have seen the whole gamit of possibilities. It is never easy to put your family into a nusing facility, but I can't imagine a better place on this planet. We became very attached to Mom's care givers and they to us. They loved Mom and loved her as their own family might. We had Mom's hospice there at Brentwood and they were very kind to us, respectful and thoughtful. It is not a perfect situation in any nursing home, but Brentwood was as real and caring and loving as they come.
