Pleasant Street Home sits on 2.46 acres in Norway, Maine, and you'll find it's a small, quiet place with only four beds in a single-family house of 3,110 square feet. The building has two stories, wood siding, a fireplace, 1.5 bathrooms, and lots of closets in the apartments, and there are balconies for enjoying the outdoors or just watching the trees. The apartments use safe designs, like grab bars in the bathrooms and emergency alert systems, and there's help for moving around if needed. Staff help with bathing, dressing, medication, and other personal care, and there's always a licensed nurse on call day and night, plus regular health checkups from a registered nurse. There are services for people with memory problems, dementia, or Parkinson's disease, and help with incontinence care, and residents can get non-ambulatory care too if they need it.
You'll find simple comforts here-housekeeping, fresh linens, dry cleaning, and laundry on site, plus scheduled transportation or concierge help for appointments or errands. There's parking, walking paths, and a furnished dining room where staff serve meals and snacks, including choices for allergies or diabetes. The building has a library with a reading section, a snack shop, and a spot to play cards, board games, or do arts and crafts classes, and there's a movie night sometimes or just a quiet garden to relax in. Residents can also go to the beauty and barbershop without leaving the property. The grounds stay secure, and pets like cats and dogs are welcome.
The community's tied in with local groups like the Alan Day Community Garden, which brings people together for gardening, fresh food, and learning about healthy living, and the Norway Historical Society, where folks can find out about local history. Nearby, the Oxford Hills Music & Performing Arts Association puts on shows and lets people take part if they want. The Pleasant Street Home blends comfort, care, and chances for getting out in the local area, always aiming to balance independence with just the right support for different needs, so there's always something going on but also space for peace and quiet.
