Ohi - Whitney Court sits in Brewer, Maine, and runs as a small, intimate assisted living home built for only four residents, and this setup makes it easy for folks to get to know each other and feel comfortable. The staff offers round-the-clock supervision, so there's always someone nearby to give help with bathing, dressing, moving around, or personal care, and everything's kept safe with emergency buttons and secure apartments. Folks get three home-cooked meals each day, with accommodations for diabetes or other health diets, and they can also enjoy walking paths and gardens for spending time outside or taking a stroll when the weather's nice. Shared apartments, studios, and one-bedroom units all come with safety features, and everything is fully furnished and cleaned with regular housekeeping and linen service. There's a nurse on call 24/7, and residents get medication management, health monitoring, and regular checkups, along with help coordinating visits with their own doctors when needed.
Activities fill most days, with book rooms, arts and crafts, scheduled movie nights, music programs, games, and group events that help everyone stay busy and connected. Transportation to doctor appointments and medical outings is available, and there's also support for daily tasks like getting dressed, eating, managing medicine, and moving about, with special programs for memory care, including support for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia. Families who need short-term help can ask about respite care options. For comfort, the facility has a salon, library, movie room, fitness area, private laundry, Wi-Fi, and a wellness program, plus they handle all the utilities, so the basics are always handled.
With individual care plans set for every resident, the staff at Ohi - Whitney Court aim to keep things personal and flexible, adapting to unscheduled needs whenever they come up, and because the community is so small, it tends to feel a bit like home, with folks sharing meals, conversations, and daily routines. Pets are welcome, too, so those who want to bring a furry companion can usually do so, and every little detail, from massage therapy to birthday celebrations, is part of the day-to-day life here. With memory care, assistance for Parkinson's, diabetes management, and more, the team focuses on health and safety while trying to keep everyone as independent as they can be for as long as possible. The mix of supportive care, daily structure, and comfortable surroundings makes this spot feel more relaxed for older adults who need regular help but still want some freedom and connection in their days.
