Recent reviews of Nursing Homes in South Acton, ME
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.

The Residence at Silver Square in Dover, NH
5.0

5 stars for all categories! All of the staff at Residence at Silver Square have been extremely helpful, caring and friendly. My friend who is here, her niece had a lot of trouble with red tape getting her into a facility. I told her to call the person from Silver Square that had contacted me twice from A Place for Mom. Within two days, my friend was moved into Silver Square with her help. I highly recommend this facility to others looking. My friend has settled in very nicely and enjoys the other residents and all of the activities available to her.

Sunrise of Huntington Common in Kennebunk, ME
5.0

It was a short stay for my mother. She was there less than 2 months but it was a very positive experience. 5 Star Service. My brother’s in-laws moved in the following month due to our pleasure with the staff, meals & care. We had my mother at another memory care facility prior to HC. The experience was night & day. We wish we had found HC sooner.

My FIL was having behavioral issues, they were the only facility willing to take him. The staff has been outstanding in meeting his needs. Conversely Silver Square was no help at all with this situation!
