Leap's Our House 1 sits in Farmington, ME, and has just four licensed beds, giving it a small, homelike feel where people often get to know each other well, and it's really more of a cozy retreat than a big facility, with studio apartments, single-bedroom units, and shared living quarters, all furnished, and there are safety features like emergency alert systems in the rooms, housekeeping and laundry help, and move-in coordination to make things easier, and you'll find that the staff is around all day and night for support, including help with bathing, dressing, transfers, medication, and supervision. The community offers both assisted living and memory care, so people with different needs can get the care and attention they need, and there are services for surgery recovery, occupational and massage therapy, and support for weight management, all done with personalized care plans that respond to each resident's schedule and wishes, and there's even a staff dietitian to help with meal plans if someone has diabetes, allergies, or high blood pressure, and meals are homemade and served three times a day with options for individualized assistance if needed, plus all-day dining and special dietary accommodations.
Residents stay busy with daily activities, community-sponsored events like movie nights, fitness routines, and creative programs, plus there's a theatre room, arts and crafts studio, computer access, and high-definition TVs for entertainment, and you'll see music therapy, pet therapy, and tabletop games along with social and educational programs to keep everyone connected, and there's a book room and maybe even a jacuzzi or sauna and a hairdresser who visits, and the facility allows small pets, so people don't have to leave their little companions behind. Outdoor features include walking and jogging paths and a garden where people can relax or get some light exercise, and staff helps arrange transportation for medical appointments, running errands, or faith-based gatherings. Around-the-clock security, bathroom reminders, and a 24/7 emergency response system add peace of mind for residents and families, which is important in any care setting, and the team supports people with mobility needs and offers help with all the common activities of daily living, including dressing, showering, washing, and hygiene. Leap's Our House 1 is licensed by Maine's Department of Social Services as a Level III Residential Care Facility, providing support for long-term stays, respite care for families who need a break, hospice care, and care for folks who might need a quieter, peaceful place to recover or recharge in a natural, tranquil setting.
