Annette Overlock Home sits at 22 Canns Beach Road in Owls Head, Maine, tucked away in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood about 3.8 miles from Rockland, and with space for up to 4 residents, you'll find a place where folks get plenty of attention from caring staff, with a nice mix of privacy and support, and people can count on help when they need it with everyday things like bathing, dressing, medication, or just getting around their room or home, and you've got all the basics covered from chef-inspired meals prepared with special attention to dietary needs like diabetes or allergies, to help with laundry, housekeeping, and just keeping the place tidy and comfortable, and there are options like private, semi-private, or one-bedroom units, with rooms all fully furnished and easy to get around in, and bathrooms are private and meet ADA standards for easy access, and if anyone needs a hand, there's always someone awake and available, with a registered nurse close at hand for medication assistance and checking up on everyone's health, which they do regularly, and since it's a Level III Residential Care Facility, you can expect support for all your daily needs, but it's not the same as being in a full nursing home, because here, the staff encourages independence, but steps in whenever someone asks, even to help with movement, transfers, hygiene care, incontinence, or speech therapy, and for folks with memory loss or Alzheimer's, there's a secured and locked memory care area, where people get wandering prevention, special activities like music or pet therapy, individual care plans, and a safe, well-lit, and calm space with staff who understand their needs.
The community puts effort into making days pleasant with things like scheduled daily activities, parties on special occasions, movie nights in the theater room, and trips out for errands or appointments, and folks can take computer classes, join in games, read in the library, do crafts, enjoy music, try out the bistro or communal kitchen, or use the salon or get a massage, and there are landscaped walking trails and garden spots for fresh air, balconies to sit on, and even a greenhouse for plant lovers, and meals get served in a big dining hall, but anyone can get help eating if they need it, or have food made a special way if there are doctor's orders, allergies, or just personal taste, and with amenities like on-site parking, high-speed internet, TV in rooms, and telephone service, residents or their visitors can keep in touch, and since it's a pet-friendly place, there's usually a cat or small dog about.
There's full home maintenance, and many comforts like a beauty salon, in-room emergency systems, private bathrooms, and a welcoming setting, and health and safety are kept in mind with active fall prevention measures and regular scheduled and ongoing health checks by staff or nurses, and staff accommodate unscheduled requests, whether it's rides to appointments, extra dining help, or other needs as they come up.
With only 4 residents at a time, people know their neighbors and staff well, and the small size allows the care team to make custom care plans for each person, whether it's long-term assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's, respite for short stays while a primary caregiver takes a break, or just regular personal care and support, and even for folks needing insulin doses, special diets, or two-person transfers, the team here is ready and able.
Transportation services get folks out to community events, doctor visits, or just on errands, and there's parking for visitors or residents who still drive, and nearby, there are churches, local restaurants like Primo and Rock City Cafe, pharmacies, and medical offices, so families don't have to go far for most needs, and inside the home, you'll often find activities running, people gathered for meals, reading or watching movies, and a quiet but friendly atmosphere that aims for dignity and respect for every resident.
Annette Overlock Home is licensed for Level III Residential Care and offers assisted living, memory care, respite, and specialized long-term care, all at a monthly rate starting at $4,820, so if you're looking for a small, attentive, and caring senior community with a homelike feeling and a staff that focuses on both safety and independence, this is a place focused on comfort, security, and community, with services set up to help people age with dignity and stay as active as they want to be.
