The Best Memory Care Communities in Androscoggin County, ME

"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."

"We visited Clover Health Care. We toured the dining facilities and all three of their services. They're comparable to the other facilities. It's a restaurant style. The rooms are the same size as the other facility, except for the memory care, where you have an option of either a companion or a private room. It's well-maintained, and they're in the process of renovating, so they're making improvements. They're definitely investing in the infrastructure. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and pleasant to deal with. There are parking lots for both residents and visitors, so there is no problem with parking for residents or visitors."

"We toured The Highlands. They were very professional, friendly, and informative. They took us into the memory care unit, where we interacted with residents and got their own impressions of how things were, and they were very accommodating and inviting. So, it's a premier facility. They're all individual private rooms, and they're comparable in size to the other facilities we toured. The dining area is the size of a restaurant. It was enough for 30 or more people, and the wait staff and the menu were great. The food was good. It was restaurant quality. We had lunch, so it was lighter than the dinner menu."

The Prettiest Village in Maine The village of Wiscasset, Maine is replete with the historic and modern charm that one expects of a quintessential coastal New England town: Amid the town’s stunning natural beauty you’ll find an array of historic sites, modern shops, antique stores, art galleries, restaurants, and recreational pursuits. Despite its size (under 4,000 residents), Wiscasset is a town where one can easily spend the day or a lifetime. Just south of Boothbay Harbor, Wiscasset sits on the banks of the Sheepscot River and extends toward one of Maine’s rocky “coastline fingers” that reach into the deep blue Atlantic Ocean. The town’s name reflects its precipitous position near to, but set-back from, the coast: Wiscasset is an Abenaki tribal name that means “coming out from the harbor but you don’t see where.” While that sounds a bit ominous, rest assured, Wiscasset’s rich history and natural assets have garnered it quite a few accolades including one of “the most beautiful towns in Maine” (right up there with nearby Bar Harbor, Boothbay, and Cape Elizabeth) and there’s always local banter about which coastal town is the Prettiest Village in Maine. But why argue? Come visit and see for yourself why Everbrook Senior Living chose Wiscasset as a community-of-choice for older adults to spend the Golden Years of life.

"I went to Woodlands Memory Care of Lewiston. It's quite new. I did notice a little bit that they were lacking in staff and were looking to hire. The interaction was good. I would say the intake representative was good and helped me with the application right on site, which was convenient. I didn't see much activity, and I didn't see many residents. My impression was that they were separated from each other and at separate tables. It seemed more like a cafeteria than the others. They actually had two very nice courtyards, and everything's new. It's just the location is not as wooded as some of the others. There were a lot of safety features and safety doors."

"My sister is a resident of Avita of Brunswick. The place is beautiful and convenient for me because it's 10 minutes from home. The staff has been remarkable to work with and continues to be remarkable in getting my sister used to being in there, welcoming her, and making her comfortable. It's just a beautiful place. They serve three meals a day. The food is wonderful. I saw my sister the other day, and she was planting. They're getting ready for spring, and they are planting herbs. They do multiple things. They were all a little overpriced, no matter where you go, but she's getting what she's paying for."
