Gallant Way is a small, quiet place for seniors who need help with daily activities and some medical care but still want to stay as independent as possible, and you'll find this spot about 4.6 miles from Augusta, Maine, out in Kennebec County. The property sits on a single level, in a mobile or manufactured home built in 2020, with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and about 840 square feet to move around in, plus there's a gable roof and vinyl siding giving it a simple look. The licensed capacity is only one resident at a time, so it feels personal and less crowded than many homes, with shared and private room choices-there's even room for your own things if you want them, or you can use the furnishings they've got set up.
This facility falls under the Pnmi Level I Residential Care Facility category and is licensed by local government, and it helps people who need assisted living, memory care, or even respite care for short stays when family caregivers need a break. The staff covers basic help like bathing, getting dressed, moving from place to place, medication reminders, and meals, and there are trained people like RN, CNA/NAR, HCA/HHA, and med techs, with a nurse on hand 24/7 for emergencies. There's 24-hour supervision, and the property is set up with safety in mind, with hand rails in the halls and bathrooms, locked medicine cabinets, and an emergency alert system.
You'll find communal meals in the dining room, with special diets like diabetic, Kosher, and allergy-friendly options, and if you need a custom meal for a health condition, that's included, too. Residents get help with the laundry and cleaning, there's a community lounge and common areas, and accessible features make it easy to get around inside, even if using a cane, walker, or wheelchair. Gallant Way supports outside resources like home health companies and welcomes hospice care if that's required, and they offer occupational and physical therapy as part of daily life.
For activities, you can join in on what's listed on the calendar, maybe participate in movie nights, or enjoy the walking paths and garden, and there's a computer area with internet in the common spaces. Transportation is available for medical appointments and other trips within a block or so, so no one has to worry about getting where they need to go. The community also features a guest house, lake access, water views, and mentions things like "homes with dock," giving a bit of character to its location.
Financial options are pretty flexible, with payment accepted by cash, credit card, insurance, private pay, or VA benefits, but not Medicare unless certified by the proper agency. It's a long-term living option for seniors who want to keep their independence but need support, and it's designed for both comfort and safety without any extra fuss.
