The staff have been very good. I did not give them a five because we have received inconsistent information about a couple of things such as whether or not we could give my mother or allow my mother to take over-the-counter meds like ibuprofen. They are managing her medication. I have to say that my mother likes the food. Especially breakfast. I have eaten there a couple of times with her and I have found the food to be quite institutional. Overcooked vegetables for example. My mother likes Sentry Hill and feels at home there and that's what's most important.

The memory care was a locked ward. It had more of a clinical atmosphere and much less light without a central courtyard. We ended up choosing a different community.
Very caring staff. Just not enough. They could add another care giver to the assisted wing. We picked this community, because it was closer to my brother and I. And because of the reputation

I toured this community on a few occasions and it's great. It's beautiful, very clean, and the staff is very friendly. I would recommend them. We're thinking about moving my loved one here from another facility.
I would recommend this community. They have activities like excursions to local sites, places to eat, historical sites, and nature adventures. They also have games like trivia and word games to keep the residents busy.

We like the staff's attentiveness to us, the value for cost is good and the location is convenient to us.
My loved one likes to participate in chair yoga. This community is in a great location. The people seem to be pretty nice and it is really cute.

My husband [name removed] and I met with Beth Verity today at 2:30 to discuss the possibility of my dad moving here. It was very informative and we liked the beautiful facility and friendly staff. We learned that Maine makes it easy to transition from private pay to Maine's Medicaid program. I was told that New Hampshire would not allow my dad to apply for Medicaid in their state because he would be coming from massachusetts. So now I think it's wiser for me to place dad in a Maine facility. Sentry Hill is less than 10 minutes from my house and I am frequently in that area, so it would be very convenient for me. I am visiting Evolve at Rye (in New Hampshire) tomorrow, so I will compare it with today's visit to Sentry Hill but I am thinking it's better for dad to come to Maine.

Due to COVID we have not been able to move into this community, however the staff has been very accommodating and informative when helping schedule a tour for us. We were able to meet with the administrative director and they were super friendly and very professional. This community is average priced when we compared it to other communities in the surrounding area. The overall layout of this community is very good. They have a variety of rooms for the residents to choose from, ranging in size from 900 sq ft. to 1200 sq ft.

We are very pleased with this community, and everything they have done for us. My mother is enjoyed her time so much during her respite stay, that she has decided to move here. I feel a lot better knowing she is safe, and in good hands at this community. The staff is wonderful. This is a community that I would highly recommend.

Had tour in 2012. Love the in-town location near the water. Superb transition from Assisted Living to Medicaid. Only one unit seems to be in my price range. Publicity deceptive.

Finding Sentry Hill for my mom was a huge relief. From the minute you step on the well manicured property and then inside the welcoming lobby layout your expectations soar. And once you meet staff members and managers, you can't help but feel Sentry Hill is professionally organized and run primarily for the benefit of the residents. I know from the beginning the food has been a hit with my mom and she is receiving the level of care and support my brothers and I had hoped for. Rod Ford-Smith

My mom has only been there a month so it may be too soon to tell, but so far here are my thoughts. I don't really understand their system. We put her there on doctors orders. Very expensive, and has only gone up. They charge more to help my mom find her way around. What assisted living means to them and what we thought we were getting are not the same.
