Recent reviews of Independent Living in Cumberland Foreside, ME
Stroudwater Lodge in Westbrook, ME
4.0

So far it has been a great fit for my mom at the Stroudwater Lodge. It is a new and beautiful community. It is the first one we toured and it had everything we needed. It is very convenient for my mom to get to her nearby Dr. appointments. Most of the time the communication is pretty good with staff members when I have questions or concerns regarding my mom's care needs. The staff takes good care of her and her care needs. The food is well-balanced but mom has special dietary needs and they are working with me so that she can get the proper nutrition. At this time mom is not able to participate in activities, but there is a resident nearby that they have become friends due to a shared family member. I would recommend Stroudwater Lodge to friends and family.

The Enclave of Scarborough
4.1

The staff are all lovely and very friendly and supportive to my mom and to the family. They are approachable and quick to respond to needs or requests. My mom's room is always clean and her laundry is done promptly. The only issue my mom has is that she doesn't care for the food. They have alternative options, but she doesn't know or remember to ask for them.

Ashton Gardens Gracious Retirement Living in Portland, ME
5.0

I would definitely recommend this facility! The staff are so kind and engaging! Housekeeping and maintenance keep right on top of things! Housekeeping provides sheets and towels and they are changed each week. My father required some assistance with showering, laundry and medication and they were able to assist us in hiring someone to come in and help him. My family feels very relaxed knowing that he is safe and that all his of needs are being met!

Complete guide to independent living

Cumberland Foreside, Maine

Independent Living

Independent Living Communities provide individuals with a handy balance between an opportunity to live an independent lifestyle and not having to worry about the basic tasks of housekeeping and chores. Meals, recreational activities and housekeeping chores are taken care of while you are free to use your time as you choose. Along with their daily needs being met, residents can enjoy an opportunity to live among peers, in a community with others of similar age groups and interests. Typically comprised of a private living space and a full kitchen, these communities offer homes with many of the amenities of apartment life but with none of the hassle. Guests can be invited over and entertained, and there will be more time to spend with them with the basic maintenance of daily tasks out of the way. While policies vary between locations, many residences allow pets as well. Nursing and health care services can always be arranged for with independent care providers if desired. There are an assortment of expenditures and benefits to keep in mind when selecting an independent living community. It is important to figure out if these amenities are included in your care plan: internet access, private phone, utilities, parking, move-in fee, laundry, wellness program, and field trips. The benefits and amenities associated with independent living include beauty salon & barber shop, private rental hall, concierge services, restaurant-style dining hall, laundry service, healthcare center, game/TV room, and golf course.
