Jefferson Green sits in a quiet spot in Lincoln County, with a single-story New England ranch-style home that holds six residents in single bedrooms on a separate wing, and you can walk from the back deck right out to a view over Damariscotta Lake, which you can enjoy from the deck's seats, spotting wildlife or watching the sun go down. The house has a formal dining room with a bay window, a big kitchen where people like to chat over tea or coffee, and raised vegetable beds out back for gardening or growing herbs. All the apartments are set up for safety and accessibility, with private or semi-private rooms, emergency call systems, in-room kitchenettes, and wheelchair-friendly spaces. Visitors have parking, and there's local transportation to doctor's appointments and outings, with favorite trips including the Lincoln Theater, Pemaquid Lighthouse, the Jefferson Scoop, and even the Jefferson Fire Station's chicken barbecue.
Staff is always present, including a nurse and 24-hour supervision, ready to help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, transfers, mobility assistance, medication administration and management, manual feeding, and personal care. Jefferson Green prepares meals that fit special diets-diabetes, allergies, pureed food-and offers snacks throughout the day, with flexible dining options in a shared dining room. There's daily housekeeping, linen, laundry, and home maintenance, plus furnished rooms with cable, phone, and wifi. The layout separates bedrooms and common areas for privacy, but still lets everyone come together for movie nights in the theater room, arts and crafts, garden walks, hair stylist visits, musician performances, and regular social and exercise activities. Family support groups make it easier for loved ones, and residents can rely on help with move-in, therapy, rehabilitation, physician-directed care plans, and health monitoring.
This small residential community uses a local, personalized approach-being part of The Village Care Homes network, managed by North Country Associates, and drawing on central support from Hodgdon Green. Jefferson Green provides skilled nursing, dementia and memory care, Alzheimer's care, and post-acute rehab for those on Medicare. There are both residential and assisted living units, respite care for short stays, and care geared to each person's needs to promote independence. Along with outings to places like Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens or Jefferson Market, there's a sense of home, comfort, and connection to the nearby village center, with common spaces for gatherings and private rooms for rest and quiet, all in a friendly environment meant for support and peace of mind.
