Edgewood Rehabilitation & Living Center, also called Edgewood Rehab & Living Ctr, sits at 221 Fairbanks Rd in Farmington, ME, just north of Farmington Village, about 22 miles from Skowhegan. You'll find a white and brick building with rocking chairs on the front porch and a protective car port, giving the place a small, hometown feel. Edgewood offers 33 beds, but the community feels medium-sized, and there are studio room layouts for people who want some privacy and independence. Residents help tend raised bed gardens, and the dietary staff uses the harvest in meals, which are known for being nutritious and prepared with care. Staff members speak English and aim to give compassionate support, always focusing on individualized care plans with a team approach.
Edgewood provides different types of care for many needs, like assisted living services, regular long-term care, skilled nursing, and memory care. There's hospice and end of life care, plus Medicare-certified home health care and non-medical home care options as well, so folks can get help at home if that's what they need. Outpatient rehabilitation is available too, whether someone comes from a hospital or by a doctor's order, and the center has strong offerings in speech pathology, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. The facility gives short-term skilled nursing after hospital stays and residential care for people who still want a bit of independence. There's also adult day services for those who need daytime support or social activities.
Edgewood's team works together so every day's a little different; they've got a new wage scale, all shifts open full-time or per diem, a sign-on award, and they look for active C.N.A.s on the Maine registry. Folks can expect activities that help everyone feel part of the community. The center gets average reviews, holding a 3-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and a 5.6 out of 10 average, making it one of the higher rated places in town, though it's not the top. They update their online directory monthly, and while they're not accepting new patients right now, they do offer tours and will answer questions by email or phone when they can. Edgewood accepts payment through Medicare, Medicaid (MaineCare), private insurance, or private funds, depending on services. The whole setup aims to promote residents' physical, emotional, and social health, and there's always an effort to create comfort and friendliness alongside good care.
