The specialized memory care community opened in August 2020.

Our community is located at 110 East Madison Road. The property abuts the Madison/Skowhegan town line.

The 20,000 square-foot community is the first purpose-built, ground-up memory care facility in the Madison/Skowhegan area and accommodates 42 residents.

Because individuals with memory impairments may benefit from either option, the community features 10 private rooms and 16 double-occupancy rooms. For some individuals who experience anxiety when living alone, the comfort of having a roommate may help. Other features include:

• Large, open-air central atrium to allow for ample natural light and easy but secure resident access to large outside courtyard with walking paths, gardens and gazebo
• High-efficiency, individually zoned climate control system (air conditioning/heating)
• Video monitoring safety system
• Private bathrooms in all resident rooms
• Multiple home-like areas for residents to engage with others, including a television room, reading room, activity room, home-style resident kitchen, common area with fireplace, and larger group activity area

Residents pay a monthly rental fee based on a daily rate for a single or double occupancy room.

Our community has a Provider Agreement with Maine’s Department of Health and Human Services which allows us to accept a limited number of persons whose residency will be subsidized by MaineCare. You can obtain information about the MaineCare application process and your eligibility by contacting DHHS’s Office of Integrated Access and Support by phone at (207) 795-4300 or (800) 482-7517 or via their website at https://www.maine.gov/dhhs/

Some long-term care insurance policies will reimburse policy holders for residential care expenses. You may want to contact your insurance provider to determine the exclusions or limitations of your policy.

Our community offers a month-to-month rental agreement.
