Holden House sits about 5.4 miles outside Brewer, Maine, on a 1.25-acre lot, and the place looks like a Cape Cod-style apartment home built back in 1959, with renovations done in 2005 and maybe some other updates along the way that records don't name, and it's got a vinyl-sided exterior, a shake shingle roof, and plenty of windows that are double-paned to keep out the chill, with about 4,206 square feet of floor space inside stretched across two stories, and there's an unfinished basement too. This property stands as a multi-family residence with 2-4 units and offers a small community, licensed as a Pnmi Level III Residential Care Facility with only 4 beds, so folks get a quieter, more personal type of care, and the building is not for sale or rent and holds an assessed value of $294,210 with annual property taxes at $5,399 for 2024. For seniors looking for different room types, Holden House has a breakfast nook, dining room, family room, recreation room, pantry, workshop, and walk-in closet, along with interior storage space, and some rooms have features meant for relaxing or just everyday living, and there are floors made of tile, carpet, hardwood, and linoleum/vinyl, with a fireplace to gather around come winter. There's a garage that fits four cars, options for carport and off-street parking, plus a deck outside for fresh air, and walking paths and gardens where residents can stroll or visit. For convenience, the apartments come furnished with cable and WiFi access, and rooms have telephones, so it's easy to stay connected, and there's a full set of appliances-dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, range/oven, refrigerator, washer, and dryer-offering all the basics of home.
Holden House delivers person-centered care designed to fit each resident's needs, and it helps people maintain independence with the right level of oversight, offering assistance with daily activities like bathing, dressing, medication management, and personal care, and it does provide non-ambulatory care for those needing extra help moving around. Seniors can expect comprehensive support, with 24-hour supervision and care from healthcare staff, coordination with outside healthcare providers, and scheduled transportation for doctor's appointments. The facility organizes daily and community-sponsored activities, scheduled movie nights, and telephone access to help with social connection, and meals are served in the dining room with options for special dietary needs, like diabetes-friendly and allergy-aware meal plans. Holden House also manages housekeeping, laundry, and linen services, so residents don't have to worry about chores, and staff assist with move-in arrangements to help new folks get settled.
Holden House accepts residents who need assisted living, memory care for cognitive impairments, respite care for short-term stays, independent and continuing care options, and even home care services for those who want to live at home but need help. It stands as a licensed, individually regulated Pnmi Level III Residential Care Facility and works with groups like the Department of Aging and Veteran's Services to give people the support they need in a safe, supportive setting. The building's wheelchair-accessible, and it has features like double-paned windows, wide doors, and accessible bathrooms to support folks with disabilities. While it's not certified for Medicare unless approved by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Holden House remains focused on giving seniors and their families a steady, dependable place with the right amount of care, plenty of comfort, and a small, neighborly community to belong to, and it's all within the school districts for Eddington, Holden, and Holbrook if that's ever needed for reference, and, with regular property tax and climate risk assessments, folks can trust that the property's managed carefully over time.
