Types of care available in Cumberland County, ME

Recent reviews of Nursing Homes in Cumberland County, ME
Avita of Stroudwater in Westbrook, ME
5.0

They did try to take good care of my loved one. They offered daily activities and the community was clean. The food was good. My loved one was only there for a short time as we realized he needed more care than they were able to provide. They oversold themselves on the care that was available. They gave out incorrect information in regard to some programs that may have been available. I would recommend asking about the security at this community.

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.

Avita of Wells
5.0

Each and every one of their staff provided the excellent care that any family would want their loved one to receive. The staff at Avita cared for her as if she were their own loved one and made our family feel like a welcomed part of the community. Avita staff was actively trying to engage her in activities and provide her with support. We cannot thank Avita enough for caring for her as we would at home. The care provided at Avita was an essential piece that allowed my grandmother to pass in peace and in a place where she was without a doubt cared for until the end of her life.
