Ledgeview Assisted Living in Cumberland Foreside, Maine provides assisted-living care with an emphasis on clear, defined medical services. The community is equipped to manage wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, diabetic care whether by oral medication, injections, or sliding scale, and it welcomes residents younger than 60 who need an assisted-living setting. Mild dementia needs are also supported. On-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside appointments and help residents remain as medically stable as possible while staying in familiar surroundings.
Around-the-clock clinical oversight underpins the rest of the support structure. An RN or LPN is on staff, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day, and all team members undergo background checks. Staff members remain awake during night shifts, and emergency pull cords connect residents directly to on-site personnel. Bathing, eating, and dressing are offered with some physical assistance, while toileting is provided with full assistance. Mobility options cover walkers, wheelchairs, standby supervision, one-person, or two-person transfers, giving residents multiple levels of safe support.
Accommodations include rooms with private bathrooms, furnishings, independent temperature controls, and cable hook-ups, and residents may paint or decorate their space. Not every unit offers every feature, so confirming specific room details during a tour is important.
Dining services combine a scheduled menu with an on-order option for added flexibility. Snacks are available throughout the day, and staff can adjust meals to meet physician-ordered diet modifications or personal preferences.
Additional amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber/beauty shop, internet access, communal gardens, cozy sitting areas, mail and newspaper delivery, and garden patios. On-site religious services and scheduled transportation help residents stay engaged both inside and outside the community. Pets are allowed; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
