Madison Avenue is a continuing care retirement community located in Madison, Maine, set up so people can stay as their needs change, offering different levels of care all in the same place, and since it only has 4 beds dedicated to assisted living, the setting stays small and close-knit, which often helps folks feel like they're really part of a supportive group, and you're bound to see residents and staff getting to know each other well over meals, activities or daily routines. Residents get help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, transferring, and taking medicine, along with meals and cleaning, while around-the-clock support makes sure someone is always nearby in case of emergencies, and each room has in-room pull cords for quick help if needed.
The property offers a choice of fully furnished rooms including studio layouts, private and semi-private options, bedrooms with telephones, keyless entry, and comfortable community spaces like courtyards, patios, and gardens, which are inviting for walks or sitting outside when the weather is nice. Meals are served hot to the table restaurant-style, and there's a community dining room, private dinner room for families, and even an on-site licensed nurse for emergencies or monthly assessments, along with a therapy room, fitness center, pool, sauna, movie theater, computer room, and communal kitchen, plus an on-site salon and barbershop for haircut needs.
Residents can join in on regular activities, special events for birthdays and holidays, Broadway-themed music sessions, an ice cream happy hour, crafting classes, movie nights, and scheduled outings since the community provides transportation to medical appointments, church, errands, and recreational trips, and they also offer mental wellness programs, art events, and physical therapy when needed, even support for things like incontinence, memory loss, or Parkinson's disease. The community tries its best to adapt each person's experience, with a Resident Services Director and engaged staff who help residents settle in, make friends, or get help moving from another place, whether it's for long-term stays, respite care, or even in-home help for seniors who need some support before moving.
The place is pet-friendly and secured with 24-hour surveillance, giving peace of mind to both residents and their families, and provides regular doctor check-ups, wound care, medication management, and skilled nursing support around the clock if necessary, alongside services like housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance-free living for independent residents who want to focus more on enjoying daily life and less on chores. Senior apartments and board and care homes are available, and memory care services are designed for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, including safe environments, specialized programs, and memory games or activities for keeping minds sharp.
Living at Madison Avenue means getting help where needed but also having chances to stay social and independent, keep pets, enjoy cooked meals, and live in a well-kept, home-like environment among a small group of neighbors, with support always nearby and a range of programs that keep daily life interesting without feeling overwhelming, so it suits many kinds of seniors, from those who want a little help every now and then to those who need higher levels of medical and memory care.
