#1 in Gorham, ME

Residents and their families say:

This community is highly regarded for its caring and competent staff, with specific mentions of staff members being a pleasure to interact with and providing great service. Reviewers consistently praised the staff's professionalism and friendliness, highlighting their responsiveness and the warm, loving atmosphere they create. The inclusiveness and attention to detail in personalizing living spaces and addressing individual needs are particularly appreciated, with renovations and decorations tailored to new residents' preferences.

However, some reviewers expressed concerns, including one account of perceived unprofessional behavior by the staff in the past and another mentioning the cost as a barrier. Despite these isolated issues, the consensus remains positive about the community's living conditions, cleanliness, and the quality of care provided. Residents and their families enjoy a rich social life with an array of activities, the presence of a daycare on the grounds for cross-generational interaction, and amenities that cater to both independent and assisted living needs. The food received mixed reviews—while generally considered fine or good, with special attention from the chef on occasions, one reviewer found it average. The community's proactive approach to individual care, responsiveness to concerns, and efforts to ensure a homely and inclusive environment are recurrent themes that define the positive experiences of many residents and their families.
