"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!"

"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. "

"Lots of communication with the Social Worker assigned to my sisterinlaw. Very positive staff provide compassionate care and work extremely hard to develop creative social activities and Physical Therapy routines. Our family is very pleased!"

"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."

"My impression of Langdon Place of Dover was very positive on everything. They have almost a restaurant-like setup for eating and that's very nice. They have a chef and there are choices of meals you can have. So, it's not like they have one pot and serve everybody from that. I was just very impressed by the staff that I spoke with. There was a menu posted on a whiteboard in front of the entrance to the dining room, and there were several choices. They answered all my questions and they knew what they were talking about. I think I'm going to try to get my friend in there."

"I liked the way the rooms were divided at St. Ann Rehabilitation and Nursing Center. Even though the rooms were shared, there was a wall between the two so that it was more private than a curtain. It's a very nice place and it's very clean and it's very up to date. It's a pretty place in a pretty location. They were very informative about the questions that we were asking. If you're a Catholic, it was geared toward mainly being a Catholic. They had a little chapel and a priest available."

"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."

"Overall, Durgin Pines was nicely kept and clean. If you were looking for rehab, which my husband was, it did not fit his needs. Other than that, the staff was very friendly and very helpful. My husband was in the rehab section, and the staff did not keep him as fully informed as he would have liked to be. "

"Wolfeboro Bay Care and Rehabilitation Center was very good and very clean. The staff was very accommodating, friendly, and very helpful. My spouse didn’t complain about the food. "

"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."

"Mountain View Nursing Home was very clean and very nice. They're understaffed though. There were some issues going on over there. I'm not pleased with the admissions coordinator, because I've called two or three times for the status of my application and I never get a call back. The rooms were laid out very nice. They're fairly good sized and they all had private showers and bathrooms."

"We toured the Mountain View Community. I thought the place was super clean. They had many amenities and very serious care. Everything was first class. The staff was very good and very thorough. The rooms were excellent. They had more going for them than I've seen in other nursing homes."

"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."
