Hillside Waiver Home sits in Presque Isle, ME, as a small Level II Residential Care Facility in the assisted housing category, set up to care for just three residents at a time, which means folks get a good deal of attention in a close-knit setting where the staff help out with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and taking medicines, offering round-the-clock supervision for people who need some help, especially those with memory loss or dementia, and the place has both semi-private and one-bedroom assisted living rooms already furnished and made to feel homey, and there's a dining room where they serve meals made with dietary needs in mind, like diabetes diets or other restrictions, and the staff help with meal prep and laundry, plus there are housekeeping and dry cleaning services, and you'll find things like cable TV, a phone in every room, Wi-Fi, and easy wheelchair access, so everyone can stay connected and comfortable.
Hillside Waiver Home has a well-kept garden and walking paths, which give residents a space for some fresh air and peace, and every day they plan some community activities, sometimes movie nights too, just to help folks stay active and social, and residents can also get help with transportation for doctor visits, and there's parking available, which works well for family visits or when a resident needs to get out and about for appointments. The place keeps things safe with an emergency alert system, and staff work with healthcare providers to handle medications and any special needs, so even people with conditions like Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia can be supported in a safe way, thanks to memory care programs and activities meant to help strengthen the mind.
Being so small, Hillside Waiver Home doesn't have big extras or fancy recreational features, but it's good for people who need steady help but don't need a lot of complex medical treatments, and it fits into the senior care options for those who want to age in a familiar, residential setting. The staff help people settle in with move-in coordination, so changing homes gets a little easier, and with just three residents, there's a quiet, steady feeling to the place, and plenty of direct support to handle basic daily living and health needs in a simple, practical way.
