The Enclave of Scarborough sits just seven miles south of Portland, Maine, and has a lot of different ways for seniors aged 55 and over to live. The place welcomes people who want independent living, assisted living, or memory care, and they even have skilled nursing and respite care for those who need extra help for a little while. Residents can choose from studio, single-room, or semi-private apartments, all on a campus designed for progressive levels of care. Meals come chef-prepared, with more than one dining area, so people can choose where to eat, and the restaurant-style dining room makes it easy to have a pleasant meal with friends. There's a greenhouse for those who still like gardening and plenty of indoor and outdoor common areas, including inviting gathering spaces, a movie theater for entertainment, an art studio for creative projects, a fitness center to stay active, and a salon and barber shop for easy grooming. People gather for planned events, including trips to places like the Winslow Homer Studio or Scarborough Downs, and the calendar stays full with daily activities, clubs, classes, and devotional services both onsite and offsite.
Assisted living means residents get discreet support from a trained 24-hour staff, who help with daily tasks like bathing, grooming, dressing, and mealtimes, along with medication management, transfers, and any other activities of daily living. Memory care, which The Enclave calls Life Guidance®, is for people with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, where the staff stays close by, keeping safety a priority and offering personalized help. People in memory care get activities designed for their needs, nurse oversight all day and night, continuous monitoring, support with wandering, and nutrition management. There are family-centered meetings and support groups too, so families can stay involved and informed.
There are wellness programs, signature activities, and technology features that help keep residents engaged and safe throughout the day, and the community welcomes some pets, making things feel more like home. The building and grounds come with extra security, and everything's licensed by the state. Bridge Senior Living manages The Enclave of Scarborough, which means the community follows the standards of a group experienced with senior care. People who live here don't have to worry much about upkeep, as the lifestyle is built to be maintenance-free. There's an entry fee and the pricing is all-inclusive, so it's simple to understand. With these choices, The Enclave gives older adults a mix of independence, support, and social life, along with the kind of safety and care that's needed as people get older.
