Rumford Community Home sits at 11 John F Kennedy Lane in Rumford, Maine, as a non-profit part of the Central Maine Healthcare system, and it's got a long list of services for seniors like independent living, assisted living, memory care, home care, adult day services, skilled rehab, home health, and hospice, whether someone's looking for short-term therapy or a place to settle in for the long run, because they look after folks who just need a little help with things like taking medication or grooming all the way up to people with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia who need extra security and specialized memory care, and that memory care section uses an "age-in-place" idea where people can stay as their needs change, all inside a building with a homelike feeling and private or semi-private bedrooms, renovated lately so things feel more up to date, and there's 24-hour support for daily tasks and health with nurses, CNAs, and medical assistants around, and if someone finds they need therapy, they can get physical, occupational, and speech therapy on site, while long-term care covers folks who need help with walking or bathing or even more care each day.
The place fits 85 residents and has a secured dementia care unit, a residents lounge for social time, and all kinds of daily activities, like arts, crafts, visits from therapy dogs, fitness games with a Wii, and trips out to local parks and shops, which keeps the days more lively, plus the meals-three a day plus snacks-are made in a family style or even restaurant-style if you want, based on what's healthy for each resident, with registered dietitians and nutrition therapy, and there's even a licensed beautician coming around each week and a podiatrist every quarter, not to mention laundry, housekeeping, and cable TV and Wi-Fi thrown in with the room.
Rumford Community Home has a slightly below average overall and health inspection rating from CMS but does better than average on staffing and sits at an average score for quality measures, and it takes both Medicaid and Medicare, so people have more financial choices, room types are not specified and prices change depending on what's picked, and they provide special programs for resident well-being like Lunch & Learn where topics about health and safety get covered, and families are welcome to join in on meals and activities for more support and connection, which fits with their family-like approach as they focus on comfort and strong clinical care while they help folks keep their independence as much as possible.
