Patten Pond House sits quietly on Patten Pond Road in Surry, Maine, surrounded by nature and walking trails, and folks who live there can choose from studios, shared apartments, and one-bedroom spaces that come with safe designs, private ADA-compliant baths, appliances, and emergency response systems in every room, and you'll find basic furnishings like telephones so you can stay in touch with loved ones. The staff at Patten Pond House stays awake and ready night and day, offering help whenever you need to get up, bathe, move around, take medicine, or handle daily tasks, especially for anyone living with memory loss, dementia, or Alzheimer's, and there's always a registered nurse on site keeping an eye on everyone's health with routine checks and medication monitoring. There's a skilled rehab and nursing unit with 28 beds, a long-term care unit with 26 beds, and a residential care unit with 20 beds, so people get different levels of care depending on what they need, and there are personalized plans for care, falls, continence, and even special dietary help for allergies or diabetes.
Patten Pond House isn't all about care, though, because they've got chef-prepared meals served in a dining hall, snacks between meals, pureed menu options, supervised dining by dietitians, and even all-day dining if you want to eat on your own schedule, and if you like company there are chapel services, arts and crafts, community kitchens, movie nights, daily activities, fitness rooms, a game room, a community dining area, movie theatre, and large balconies to enjoy the views or quiet time. Folks living there get housekeeping, laundry services, transportation to appointments, and all the utilities included, and someone even manages any unscheduled needs that come up. The grounds have secure entry, high staff numbers, a 24-hour security and emergency alert system, plus gardens, walking paths, and supportive common spaces that welcome everyone, and for worship and spiritual needs there's a chapel on site. Patten Pond House is managed by Christopher Place Management, who have experience running senior communities, and they focus on creating warm, inclusive settings where residents get care that fits their needs, privacy when they want it, and support for independent living or extra help as time goes on.
