28 Putnam Drive is a small senior living community licensed in Maine with the number RCC1535, offering both assisted living and memory care services, with skilled staff trained to support residents who have Alzheimer's, dementia, or Parkinson's, and they can help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, medication, mobility, and toileting or even feeding when required, so people can keep some independence while getting help as needed. The community only has up to four residents at a time, which means people have more privacy and can get more attention from staff, with private or semi-private rooms including studio units that come fully furnished, have storage space, and ADA-compliant bathrooms. Their building overlooks the Kennebec River and sits near parks, so residents can enjoy landscaped outdoor walking trails, a secure garden, and spaces for relaxation, while inside the building there's a dining room, library, theatre room, games and art areas, and regular entertainment, creative classes, and activities like music, animal therapy, brain games, and movie nights arranged every day so folks stay active and social.
Nurses and caregivers are available all day and night, offering medication management, regular health checks by registered nurses, fall prevention programs, help with movement, and speech or occupational therapy when needed. Meals are homemade three times a day by a chef with snacks available, and there's a pureed menu plus special meals for diets like diabetes or hypertension, all served in a dining room where staff help with feeding when requested, and residents can have meals tailored to their needs and health. There's a beauty and barbershop, a sauna room, a jacuzzi, a snack shop, cable TV, and Wi-Fi, laundry and housekeeping, and a wellness center where people join programs designed for brain health and fitness. Residents have access to emergency call buttons, secure outdoor areas, emergency pullcords in living spaces, and a secure campus so people with memory problems who may wander can stay safe. Staff speak English and work as a team with health professionals, so residents benefit from coordinated care and support with medical appointments, sometimes including transportation to see doctors or go to faith services. Parking's available for those who need it, plus residents can bring small pets, and everyone has regular housekeeping, maintenance, and linen service so they don't need to do chores or home repairs.
Living at 28 Putnam Drive means residents get to choose the level of care that suits them, whether that's help with simple things like bathing or more complex needs like insulin management and two-person transfers, and every person gets a tailored service plan that's updated as their health changes. Payment is private, with cash, check, or long-term care insurance accepted. The community's goal is to present a calm, safe, and engaging environment where older adults can keep their dignity, enjoy daily life with familiar comfort, and get extra support whenever they or their families feel it's needed.
