Cedar Ridge Center in Skowhegan delivers nursing-home level care with a 24-hour team of registered and licensed nurses who oversee complex medical needs. Residents have on-site access to physical therapy provided by licensed therapists who design individualized rehabilitation plans, using dedicated therapy spaces and equipment to promote mobility and recovery after illness, surgery, or injury. The community also accepts respite stays, giving family caregivers a short-term break while providing guests with the same skilled nursing oversight, medication administration, and monitoring available to long-term residents.

Beyond skilled nursing and therapy, the clinical team assists with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and mobility transfers. Routine vital-sign checks, wound management, and coordination with physicians and pharmacies are handled in-house. Social services staff help with care planning and discharge coordination, while on-site lab and diagnostic services reduce the need for outside appointments. Regular interdisciplinary care meetings ensure each resident’s plan is updated as health conditions change.

Accommodation options include private and shared rooms, each maintained by housekeeping staff and equipped with central air conditioning, cable television, and phone service; wireless internet is available throughout the building, and some rooms also feature computer access. Many, though not all, rooms offer scenic views of the surrounding courtyard and landscaped outdoor areas. Residents may bring a small pet subject to community guidelines, and several secure garden areas provide convenient spaces for walks or fresh air.

Three nutritionally balanced meals are prepared daily, with entrée choices and therapeutic diets accommodated under the supervision of a registered dietitian. A café with an always-available menu supplies lighter meals, snacks, and beverages outside scheduled dining times, and tray service is offered when a resident’s health status calls for in-room dining.

Residents can spend free time in the activity center where scheduled events, exercise classes, and games are held. Clubs and communities give individuals the option to join interest-based groups, enhancing social interaction and routine. A library and computer lounge offers reading materials, internet-enabled computers, and quiet areas for email or video chats, supporting both recreation and connectivity with friends and family.
