Granite Hill Estates in Hallowell provides Independent Living, Assisted Living, and a secure Memory Care program in one campus. Assisted Living residents receive help with bathing, grooming, mobility, and medication management from licensed nurses who are on site every day, while Independent Living residents can access those services if needs change. The Memory Care neighborhood is designed for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias and is staffed by caregivers trained to monitor cognitive changes, manage behavioral symptoms, and communicate closely with physicians.

Medical oversight is available around the clock. A registered nurse supervises care plans, handles injections and wound care, and coordinates laboratory work, therapy, and specialty appointments. Each apartment and common area is equipped with an emergency response system that alerts staff immediately, and transportation is arranged for off-site physician visits or hospital follow-ups. Physical, occupational, and speech therapists visit the community by appointment, and care plans are reviewed regularly with residents, families, and healthcare providers to make adjustments as health conditions evolve.

Accommodation choices range from studios to two-bedroom apartments. Depending on the floor plan, features may include full kitchens, step-in showers, in-unit washers and dryers, individual climate controls, and private patios or balconies. Weekly housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are included, and residents can furnish their homes to personal preference. Not all accommodations have all the features, so prospective residents should ask for a detailed list of what is available in each unit.

The culinary team prepares three daily meals on site, and a dietitian reviews menus to meet physician-ordered dietary needs such as low-sodium, renal, or diabetic plans. Meals are served in a communal dining room with table service, and snacks are stocked throughout the day. Apartments that include kitchens allow residents to cook for themselves if they wish, and tray service is available to any resident who is recovering from an illness. Not all accommodations have kitchen facilities, so confirming meal and food-preparation options during a tour is recommended.
