Coldbrook Road sits on a quiet piece of land in the Hampden region, where you'll find several different homes on properties of various sizes-some are older, built in the 1920s and 1940s, while some have more recent updates, and most offer features that folks usually find helpful in their day-to-day living. For example, the homes can have from two up to five bedrooms with anywhere from one to four bathrooms, quite a mix, and sometimes there'll be a bedroom and bathroom right on the first floor, which is good if stairs aren't too easy these days. There's different types of kitchens, some with newer stainless steel appliances and lots of cabinet space, sometimes the heating's done by oil, propane, or even heat pumps that keep things comfortable both summer and winter, with options like hot water baseboard or forced air if you need it, and most of the houses are built with wood frames, concrete or masonry foundations, and the usual exteriors like vinyl or wood clapboard, along with a shingle or metal roof for lasting through Maine weather.
Some of these properties come with basements-some finished, some just wide open space with a bulkhead for getting things in and out-and things like sump pumps to deal with water, which is common around here. The bigger places might have a fireplace made of stone that can really anchor a living room, or decks that face out toward Souadabscook Stream, which folks say you could see even better if you cleared out a few trees, and there's properties with things like a full, commercial kitchen or space for businesses, like if you had dreams of turning something back into a restaurant, and there's plenty of parking, with a few places having paved driveways, detached garages, even spots for over sixty cars if there's a big lot on hand. Water usually comes from the city line, sewer is sometimes private and sometimes public, and heating can go oil or even bottled gas, depending on what you need, and there's updated features like newer leach fields and city water hookups too.
The community side of Coldbrook Road has services that help people who need more support with daily life, things like help with bathing, dressing, getting around, medication, and sometimes there's coordination with healthcare folks if a resident needs them. People can live in furnished rooms, sometimes there's telephones and emergency alert systems, and staff are around for 24-hour supervision. Housekeeping and meal services are included, and there's common areas like dining rooms or gardens or patios out back. For folks with special diets, meals can be adapted for diabetes or allergies, and there's all-day dining in some places. Residents can walk on paths, use the gardens, or get rides arranged for appointments, and laundry gets taken care of too. Overall, Coldbrook Road's homes and senior living features are plain and practical, aiming to help people remain comfortable, cared for, and safe, with just enough of those little extras that make things easier as folks get older.
