Edgecomb Green sits in a quiet spot between Edgecomb Community Church and the Singing Meadows Nature Preserve, and you'll see it's the old Eddy School building, all renovated and keeping its history while meeting the needs of today's seniors. The community feels small and connected, since there are five homes with just six to eight residents each, plus two studio apartments with private entrances and parking, and these all come with a forest view, a large balcony porch full of bird feeders, and plenty of peace and quiet, though you're only ten minutes from stores and things to do in town. The homes link to Hodgdon Green, the main center, where folks can join in community-sponsored activities, enjoy shared meals in the dining room, or use the walking paths and gardens, and the rooms come fully furnished with their own private shower, toilet, and kitchenette, so you've got your own space but you aren't far from others.
There's assisted living here with help for daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or getting to meals, and healthcare staff are always on-site for support and medication management, including any special diets for diabetes or food allergies. Edgecomb Green focuses on comfort and dignity, using a family-style care model with 24-hour supervision and emergency alert systems, so residents and their families can feel secure, and the small scale keeps things personal. People who only need a short stay can use respite care, and families needing a day program while loved ones live at home will find that option, too. For getting to the doctor or other appointments, you'll find transportation arranged, and there are telephone, cable, and wifi services so residents can stay entertained and in touch.
Meals are provided every day, laundry and housekeeping are done for you, and there's no need to worry about fixing things, since it's all maintenance-free. Community life here means a busy schedule if you want it, with movie nights, board games like Yahtzee with Grace, outings to places like Lincoln Theater and the Botanical Gardens, visits to the Pumpkinfest, and weekly arts and crafts or musician visits-plans and activities change every week and season, and you'll see a focus on self-esteem and intellectual activity along with fun. Families are encouraged to join in events and programs, keeping everyone connected. Income-based options, including for MaineCare patients, help make things accessible, and while Edgecomb Green is a Level III Residential Care Facility with only six licensed beds and is not Medicare certified unless by CMS, it fills a specific need for long-term, non-acute senior care in a setting that values engagement and independence, all while keeping a steady hand on daily routines and safety.
