Dirigo Pines in Orono, ME

They were under staffed but part of that was due to covid. They do a good job but only offer certain services. There was very little enrichment, but again due to covid. It is on the expensive side. The staff are wonderful, caring, friendly and always available. The facility itself is lovely- quiet location, beautiful gardens. Their focus seems to be more on memory care. They have less services for people with physical compromises. They really are doing really hard work in a difficult situation.
