The Highlands in Topsham, ME
4.3

The caregivers are all very kind and thoughtful. There could be more activities that involve people rather than television. Such as "work outs" have someone doing it as an instructor rather than a tv program.

Casco Inn Residential Care
4.3

The physical plant is inviting. No two rooms are alike and they are well kept and up to date. All of the workers (aides, nurses and other staff) are very professional and seem to care deeply for the residents. They are ready to handle any situation as it arises. The whole place is "home-y", very clean and quiet. There is an enormous backyard that residents can use in good weather to just enjoy the sun or garden. The food is served in a nice dining room with coffee available ad lib. Many levels of care are available. I feel that my mother is very safe there and well taken care of.

Sunnybrook in Brunswick, ME
4.7

Sunnybrook Village is very homey. The staff is really good at handling a difficult transition. They promote a welcoming group among the residents. They really helped mom integrate. The only thing that would help make everything a five is to have a better range of activities. I would like to see them do more with their activity schedule. For example they tried to have pets there periodically but couldn't always pull that together. I would also like to see some more crafts or recreational activities. But it has made a very difficult situation doable. I am pretty happy with this facility.
