Klearview Manor Nursing Home sits in Fairfield, ME, and has been serving the area since 1975, offering long-term care and specialized services for seniors and people with developmental challenges, and while it's a smaller facility with 16 licensed beds, folks always say it feels like family as soon as you walk in the door. The home's owned and operated by North Country Associates and is licensed as an Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF/IID), and you'll notice right away that the nursing staff includes Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, and Certified Nursing Assistants, all working around the clock to provide care for those who need extra support with health and daily activities.
People here get access to skilled nursing care, memory care, hospice, and even rehab services like occupational, physical, and speech therapy with a team that makes sure each person's needs are met, aiming to help residents stay as independent as possible, which means there's always attention on maintaining or improving daily living skills. Many residents get help with medication, and the community also supports folks with acute health needs, developmental disabilities, and even infants and children with mental retardation, which isn't something every place around offers. Klearview Manor also provides outings, therapeutic and recreational activities, and day programs for building life skills, so the atmosphere feels busy, supportive, and homey at the same time.
Meals are nutritious and prepared with quality ingredients, and the whole place is set up with comfort and safety in mind. Programs here focus on active treatment and independence, encouraging social, physical, and communication skill-building. That's why many folks who visit notice a calm, family-like feeling, and with services certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Maine Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Services, they keep to a high standard of care. The staff covers a wide range-including professional nurses, doctors, specialists, and therapists-so residents with complex health or personal care needs get continuous attention and support, whether they need help for a short time or need long-term home.
