The Best Memory Care Communities in York County, ME

"My grandfather had frontal lobe dementia which is an uncommon type of dementia. He could remember things but he had to ask for help a lot. Because of the many times he asked for help, it really puts a strain on staff. We had to move him three different times until he ended up at the Maine Vets Home because the staff could not handle him. This was really hard on my family. However, the staff at the Maine Vets Home was amazing. Unlike the other places, they understood his disease and treated him with the dignity and respect that he deserved. He spent a year there and was probably the happiest he had been for the last few years of his life. The staff at the Maine Vets home were always helpful to my family and we can never be thankful enough for their kind care. "

"I really liked Avita of Stroudwater. It was beautiful, very new, very nice, and clean, and the staff was very kind. The rooms were nice. However, we're trying to get my brother closer to my mother in New Hampshire. It's too long of a trip for her to Avita. The dining room was lovely with lots of tables. The activities were really good and had more than one going on at a time. "

"What I liked best about Woodlands Senior Living Cape Memory Care was the fact that it seemed to be able to meet my mother's needs, that it was local, a setting that she is familiar with, and that the services and care they provide is very much what she needs right now. We saw an example of one room. It was neat and it was clean. It was not occupied at the time that we saw it, but it seemed that it would be adequate for her needs. The staff who assisted me was very helpful. They had activities. I looked at the calendar that they have posted on their website, and it looks like a whole variety of activities for a variety of interests. I'm certain my mother will find some things that she would want to participate in. My mother is not yet in there, but it seemed to me everything that we were looking for. We're looking forward to having her move in so that she would be getting the kind of care that she needs, and we can be assured that she will be well taken care of."

"Langdon Place of Dover seemed older but the apartment was very nice. I only met the woman who did the intakes and she was excellent. She was great."

"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. "

"This seemed to be a nice nursing home with a home like atmosphere. The foyer was welcoming with plants, a water fall and old style furnishings. The staff went out of their way to extend curtesies to me. The rooms were clean. The bedroom furnishings were more homelike. Some of the residents families brought in dressers and photos from their homes. There were brightly colored blankets and some crocheted afghans as well that were very colorful. The rooms and the bathrooms were a little more spacious than others I have seen but not by much. The shower, tub room was fairly large, with a newer tub and two shower stalls. The activity department was in full swing when I was there, complete with a sing-a-long that the staff and residents were participating. They all seemed to be having a real good time. The food was well presented. "

"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 !!! "
