Hallowell Road is a small senior living home in a single-story ranch house built in 1972, with three bedrooms and one bathroom, sitting on about 1.4 acres. The home's got six rooms across 1,752 square feet and stands in Durham, Maine, with exterior walls of concrete block and an asphalt shingle roof, forced hot water heat, and cooling amenities for comfort. It's a quiet, homelike setting that can welcome up to three seniors, which really means everyone gets personal, focused care and it doesn't get too busy, and folks can get help with things like bathing, dressing, transfers, toileting, washing, and personal hygiene.
People there get 24-hour supervision, so help's always at hand, and there's trained staff to help with medication, insulin, or two-person transfers if that's needed. Folks can coordinate appointments and travel not just to hospitals but also to faith-based centers and errands around town. Residents here get three home-cooked meals every day, plus special meal plans for health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, so the kitchen pays attention to individual dietary needs, which is important as people get older.
They've got high-speed internet, cable or satellite TV, phone service, and Wi-Fi, and the rooms come fully furnished, which makes moving in a little easier. There's regular housekeeping, laundry, and a few visiting services like a traveling barber or hair stylist. The house also has a dining area for shared meals and a casual space for gatherings, and there's a deck, yard, garden, and walking areas out back.
Community life is steady but down-to-earth, with movie nights, music, fitness or art programs, pet therapy, tabletop games, reading room, game room, and scheduled social events, all helping to keep people active and connected, and the staff run regular health and recreation plans to match people's interests or needs. The property offers transportation for doctor visits and errands, along with move-in help if needed, and there's parking on site for visitors or staff.
Hallowell Road handles care coordination with healthcare providers and offers independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care. For folks needing a break, they've got respite services so family caretakers can rest. The facility's community score from Seniorly is 3.8, which suggests things are good but not perfect, and the focus here is really on reliable, tailored support in a smaller, homey place where things run at a calm pace.
