Friendship Cottage sits at 118 Ellsworth Road in Blue Hill, Maine, and serves as a senior care facility with 30 beds for those who need both daily help and a safe place to stay, and this place has a license number, ADS1969, for its operation, which shows it meets state rules. Seniors here can find services like assisted living, adult day options, and help with tasks such as bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, and there are staff members and caregivers around at all times, so if anyone presses the emergency alert button or needs any kind of help-mealtime help, spoon feeding, or even just moving around-the help arrives quickly, and the care team can also support folks who need memory care or who have mobility limits or who need a non-ambulatory care approach. The rooms come furnished with choices of private, shared, and small studio setups, and if moving in seems hard, the staff will help so it goes as smooth as possible.
The grounds have walking paths, gardens, and sitting spots, so residents can relax or enjoy nature, and if someone wants to spend time outside or get fresh air, there are easy paths and garden areas for that, and for those who enjoy reading or arts, the facility has a library and an arts room, and there's also a snack shop, communal kitchen, and a dining room with all-day, restaurant-style meals, along with chef-prepared options, foods supervised by a dietitian, and meal plans for allergies or diabetes. Private dining rooms are there for gatherings, and for grooming needs, there's a barbershop, laundry, and dry cleaning services, and on top of that, they keep the place tidy with housekeeping like vacuuming and dusting, which helps make the space comfortable.
The community brings people together with on-site activities, spaces for arts, and occasional group events, and a social media presence and chat options are open for those who want to stay connected. For folks with electric vehicles, there are two Level 2 charging ports with J1772 connectors, managed by a Charge Point Management System, and the 24-hour charging station is open to the public and takes Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover, making it easy for visitors and residents with electric cars. Pet-friendly rules let owners keep their companions, and security systems run all the time, so safety comes first, and there's always a 24/7 response for emergencies, along with transportation support for appointments or errands.
Physical therapy happens on-site, and the health care services cover a range of needs, whether that's simple day services, nutrition or financial help, support for autism (medium functioning, ASD-Level II), help during pregnancy and parenting for families with special needs, and programs for children and young adults to learn and grow. The facility follows a non-discrimination rule to provide equal access to all services, and for those worried about heating in winter, there's home heating assistance, too.
The place is closed on weekends, but Monday through Friday, staff work from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. to offer all these services and more, making the most of daytime hours to help seniors and families in Blue Hill. Friendship Cottage is part of the Mary Ann Morse Healthcare Corp., and the aim is to carefully match each person's needs-whether someone is looking for long-term support, memory care, or adult day services-with the right level of care, always focusing on dignity, safety, and support for every resident or guest.
