Avalon Village - Hampden, ME, is a senior living community sitting at 50 Foxglove Drive, Suite 11, near parks, eating spots, and the city of Bangor, with easy access to medical and dental offices and just a short drive to places like the Bangor International Airport and the Collins Center for the Arts in Orono, and you'll find it perched on a high bluff above the Penobscot River with its cottages and the Manor House as the center of the community, surrounded by walking trails, gardens, and even a certified Wildlife Habitat, which makes the setting pretty peaceful. The homes, both cottages and rental suites, are designed to look and feel like a regular neighborhood instead of a big institution, with entrances near the street and a sense of quiet and privacy, plus you have a choice of six customizable floor plans ranging from about 1,300 to over 2,300 square feet, all with features like radiant heating, cherry kitchen cabinets, Pella windows, private decks, master bedroom suites with private baths and walk-in closets, spacious living rooms, and the option for a two-car garage and extra storage, while smaller apartments offer things like a laundry room, den, solarium, and a finished loft with cold storage, with the average livable area of 1,457 square feet.
Avalon Village covers a broad range of care from independent living to assisted living, memory care, respite care, rehabilitation, long-term care, and even home care services, serving seniors who want a lively, social retirement or those who might need more help over time, with staff always available, friendly, properly trained, and offering housekeeping, transportation, pet care, and flexible à la carte catered services, including meals. Families can talk with local senior living advisors here, using an arrangement where the community pays a fee only if a move-in happens, so families don't pay for the service up front, and Avalon Village will share pricing and availability by request since they haven't published specific price lists. There's a full calendar of activities-social, educational, and entertainment events, plus outings and things like community gardening and events at the on-site Edythe L. Dyer community library, and all the core services and amenities aim to support a high quality of life, with yearly statements to help with tax deductions on the portion of real estate taxes in monthly fees. The cottages and suites come with comprehensive maintenance inside and out, which takes the burden of upkeep off residents and their families.
Avalon Village's board includes three resident shareholders and two Avalon Management representatives, and there's a reserve fund and insurance in place for repairs and big fixes, with policies that let residents keep pets, and a bit of space for small boats, campers, or RVs. The Manor House acts as the social hub for special events, and both the cottages and rental suites offer comfort and privacy, making it suitable for seniors who want independence, as well as those who'd like more social or care options and who want to live close to Maine's natural, cultural, and educational attractions. Avalon Village focuses on keeping aging residents comfortable, engaged, and safe, offering thoughtful features like private decks, solarium spaces, community gardens, and safe walking trails, and stays flexible about catering to different needs, interests, and budgets, with staff ready to help as little or as much as each person wants.
