Atria Kennebunk offers independent living supported by a wide range of clinical services. Respite stays, diabetes care on oral medication or injections, sliding-scale insulin management, wound care, oxygen support, and speech therapy are available. Staff are trained to respond to behavioral issues, combative episodes, wandering at any hour, and residents who remain up all night. Special dietary oversight, a mental wellness program, and acceptance of adults under 60 are in place, and protocols address elopement risks.
Every resident receives a pendant or wristband that links to the community’s emergency alert system. Entry and exit points are secured to support residents who wander, and on-site personnel can be summoned at any time. These safeguards allow Atria Kennebunk to combine the autonomy of independent living with responsive medical oversight.
Apartments may be furnished or unfurnished, and most include individual climate controls, a kitchenette, private bathroom with walk-in or wheelchair-accessible shower, telephone line, cable or satellite TV, and high-speed internet. Some layouts add features such as views of outdoor areas, proximity to a central fireplace, or parking just outside the door. Scheduled housekeeping and laundry are standard, and residents may paint or decorate their rooms. Pet-friendly units are available, although not every accommodation includes all listed features.
Dining is offered all day, blending a set menu with on-demand selections prepared by a professional chef. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, low-sodium, no-sugar, puréed, chopped, or thickened options are routinely produced, and snacks are accessible between meals. Guest meals can be arranged, and international dishes appear regularly. Because kitchenette designs vary by apartment, the community dining room is intended to be each resident’s primary source of daily nutrition.
Indoor and outdoor walking paths, raised garden beds, yoga and chair yoga, fitness programs, an activity center, live music, karaoke, happy hours, dances, clubs, reminiscence and sensory-based sessions, intergenerational gatherings, birthday parties, social outings, and a swimming pool offer structure to daily life. Residents also have access to a library and computer lounge for quiet reading or internet use.
