Nursing Home Communities in Falmouth, ME

"My parents moved into Coastal Manor. It's small, it has the feeling of an old house rather than a nursing home. The people who live there are residents rather than patients, and there are many employees who have been there for multiple decades. Also, the owner, he's owned it for 37 years, and he's at the site every day because he lives on the property, so it's independently owned. They're kind, thoughtful, and responsive. I can't say enough about them. Maybe they could update any areas that are carpeted, or painted, or wallpapered, it would be good to see. They're a little dated, but that's OK."

"I was a volunteer at this nursing home, as well as a sister and daughter of an employee. The activities that were provided were good, for the budget of the nursing home. They provided a piano, many books, numerous televisions, and women were able to paint their nails. It was a shame that it smelled horrible, and the meals were less than good, but the staff was for the most part very friendly. The residents seemed happy with the living conditions, given the circumstances, and they were very happy that SP NH provided many different activities and many new volunteer faces were happy to be a part of their environment. The rooms were okay in size, and from what I overheard the cost was adequate (but I do feel all nursing homes are overpriced). In the area, there are many nursing homes and assisted living homes, although I did like South Portland Nursing Home, I believe the two assisted living homes in Cape Elizabeth (a 10 min drive) are much nicer with a much nicer outdoor space, although from what I have heard, it is MUCH more expensive.

"My mother-in-law was in Springbrook Center for rehab and I got a frantic call that she was unresponsive and rushed to the hospital and that she had almost died. She had fallen there and nobody told us. It's not recorded in her medical notes. We had a horrible experience there. Her room was sparse, but it was clean. When you walked into the facility, it smelled like urine and like a toilet. She had a private room and her own bathroom, and it was very nice. We had one nurse's aide that was very good. She was always in her room by herself and she watched television in her room by herself. It looked to me like they had not done much maintenance. They just clean it and that's it. It's in need of some help."

"I placed my husband in Maine Veterans' Homes-Scarborough and our experience has been very good. It's clean. The staff are very welcoming and attentive. They tend to make whatever food the resident wants if they don't want what the main meal is. They have a gathering room and a beautiful outdoor court that you can sit in. There's a big tent that you can sit under if you don't want to be in the sun but if you want to be in the sun, there are tables and chairs around. They do a lot with the veterans. They have a lot of activities. It has an excellent atmosphere. The food is very, very good. It's very well-kept."

"We visited Piper Shores and toured for independent living. That was quite an incredible place out there. It was one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, and it's overwhelmingly so with its decoration and the fact that it's huge. It's three floors with an elevator to different floors, and the amenities, artwork, and all the things they have to offer are just off the charts. You could not find a better spot than that. You probably couldn't find a more expensive spot, either. I didn't eat anything there, but I did look at several of the options as I was walking around, and it was all first-class dining. They have amenities almost too many to mention, like a standalone woodworking shop, a room that's just dedicated to fabric art and sewing, and a room dedicated to painting and sculpture."

"The social worker is a little back-stabber. These people do not know how to get along well with people who have accents from different parts of the country. The facility itself was nice, I never smelled anything bad, but they definitely need to fire the kitchen manager. She refuses to do her job for the residents safety. "

"My sister worked in Ledgewood Manor several years ago. My father's doctor recommended them as well because he takes care of some patients here. The place is just up the street to where my father used to live too. It's a facility that has 60 beds and it's very well kept. My father has been there since June 1st. He's very comfortable there. The staff is very positive. "

"The Pine Point Center provided my Mom the utmost quality of highly skilled, compassionate care for many months. The staff worked well together as a cohesive team that openly promoted an environment of friendliness, expertise, and attention to their residents. Family interactions with the medical and nursing staff were open, honest, bi-directional and informative. Social Services and nursing staff were attentive to not only the resident’s wellness but also to that of the family caregiver members. CNAs and nurses, as well as dietary and environmental services personnel, responded quickly and effectively to the residents’ requests. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, and the residents’ privacy is always respected to the fullest extent. My Mom constantly commented “It’s so quiet and peaceful here, and everyone is so nice.” I would definitely consider residing here for my own needs should it become necessary."

"My aunt was at Mid Coast Senior Health. It's a very well-kept facility, the staff was very nice and helpful. My aunt seemed quite content, she was receiving very good care. It's a very nice facility. The staff members are very, very good. They have a bunch of activities and they do something every day. In terms of value for the money, we're very pleased with it. There was one person at the time wearing a mask and asking you if you're vaccinated. They vaccinated everybody there. You had to meet with the person in their room, you couldn't go to a congregate area or anything to visit. So, they're very careful about the COVID."

"I went on a tour of this assisted living facility to see how the quality of life was for the residents. This is a fairly well kept facility that has friendly staff that treated the residents as if they were their own family members. Everything is done on a schedule such as meals and different entertainment events that the residents can choose to be a part of such as games. The rooms are kept clean and fresh smelling. The staff are very alert and assist the residents with their every possible need and they do not make the residents wait for a long amount of time before they receive assistance and they are not mean or rude to the residents. This facility is a facility I would consider placing one of my elderly family members in because I wouldn't have to worry about their personal well being. There are so many facilities that are not kept clean and are not so nice to the residents but I can happily say this is not one of those places. The exterior of the facility is well kept and seems inviting and friendly as well. "

"I've been in Seal Rock Healthcare in Saco for a week now. I'd recommend it. It's well-appointed. It's modern. The staff is excellent, and the grounds are beautiful. There're a lot of staffers, they're very friendly, and I don't have to wait. Sometimes I have to order something different because I can't eat what they're serving. For breakfast, for example, they have a lot of eggs and I don't eat eggs. I'm getting physical therapy and occupational therapy."

"The staff seemed to be very caring and attentive to the needs of the residents. They offered meals to accomadate a variety of dietary needs including my grandmother's diabetes. The staff planned local activities for the residents as well as fun community events at the facility. "

"I am the family member of current resident of the assisted living side of this facility. The facility is clean and maintained. Rooms are mostly doubles. Placement staff do the best to match up like individuals. There are plenty of activities. The activity staff are very helpful in coming to get residents and remind them of the schedule. The care director Tammy is very accessible and helpful. Staff are very patient and kind. They always call us with any questions or concerns. It is helpful to me to know that she is in a safe place with kind people to help her when she needs it. Down side is the food is institutional food- Not bad food just processed food full of sodium, nothing you can do about that. There are choices, I just wish they were healthier ones for patients on sodium restricted diets!"
