The Highlands in Topsham, ME provides three levels of residency: Assisted Living, Independent Living, and a dedicated Memory Care program. Medical oversight is available for residents who need diabetes management, short-term or respite stays, and those living with advanced dementia. Care plans are coordinated to ensure appropriate monitoring, medication management, and access to healthcare professionals who understand the specific needs of each group.
The secured community design supports resident safety while allowing freedom of movement appropriate to each care level. On-site services such as podiatry and a therapy room reduce the need for outside appointments. Staff can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, toileting, and eating, and they are trained to perform two-person transfers for residents who need that level of help.
Residences come in several floor plans that may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and regular housekeeping with scheduled laundry. Not all units contain every feature, so prospective residents should confirm the exact layout and amenities of the apartment they select. Independent Living residents receive weekly housekeeping as part of their package, giving them a maintenance-free lifestyle.
Dining follows a set menu that emphasizes balanced nutrition, with snacks available throughout the day. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings, and the staff accommodates physician-ordered diet modifications or personal dietary preferences. Independent Living residents can opt into a monthly meal plan that lets them choose how many meals they take in the main dining room each day.
Additional amenities on the campus include resident parking, an exercise room, wellness center, movie room, pool, library, barber/beauty shop, communal gardens, special-interest clubs, and reliable internet access. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach local appointments and outings. Pets are permitted; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
