Dirigo Pines in Orono delivers three levels of residential care—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—with an emphasis on supporting complex medical needs. The community is equipped for residents living with advanced dementia and provides around-the-clock oversight for conditions that require continual monitoring.
Beyond its primary care settings, the property offers respite and short-term stays, diabetes management, and on-site speech therapy. The campus is a secured community, adding an extra layer of safety for residents who may wander. A dedicated therapy room supports rehabilitation goals, and staff are trained to give full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, along with one-person transfer support for those who need help moving between bed, chair, or wheelchair.
Apartments are available in multiple floor plans and may include a kitchenette for light meal preparation. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are part of the standard package, easing day-to-day chores, although not every residence is outfitted with every feature.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant-style, with all-day dining for flexible scheduling. The culinary team can accommodate vegetarian, vegan, organic, gluten-free, low- or no-sodium, and no-sugar menus, and guest meals are encouraged. International cuisine rotates through the menu to add variety and meet diverse preferences.
Residents have access to an on-site barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a library, and a movie room, and transportation can be arranged for medical appointments or local errands. Pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
