Deer Hill A

Deer Hill A sits at 254A Deer Hill Road in Waterford, Maine, and it's a small, close-knit community that's dedicated to adult care, with different levels of support for older adults, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, so people get help that fits their needs. The place has 24-hour supervision, and the staff assists with bathing, dressing, transfers, medication, and daily activities, always keeping the health and safety of residents at the front. Each unit, and there are two in this duplex-style building, offers two bedrooms on the first level, a big living room with vaulted ceilings, ceiling fans, and heat pumps to keep everything comfortable, and there's a full bathroom with a walk-in shower, plus a half bath and laundry area, and the kitchen comes with a dishwasher, a refrigerator, and an electric range, and there's even a nice dining room where everyone can have nutritious meals, including options for special dietary needs. The community has fully furnished units with phone and high-speed internet, cable or satellite TV, and they organize daily activities to encourage social time and keep the mind sharp. The grounds have beautiful gardens and private backyard space for relaxing or visiting with others, and the building features hard-wired smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a whole house Generac generator, and a separate boiler or utility room, so safety and comfort get attention here. Memory care folks get care in a secure area with programs and activities designed to help with Alzheimer's or dementia, and nursing care is available round the clock for people who need more medical help, including rehabilitation and wound care. Housekeeping, linens, transportation for medical appointments, and help arranging the move-in process all get handled, and there's coordination with doctors and nurses to keep care organized. The setup is accessible for people with disabilities, and being in a neighborhood setting means it feels more like a home than an institution; the drilled well and private septic keep it self-sufficient and there's a legacy here too, because it's served as a group home for years. Deer Hill A gives people support for independence while offering the help, safety, and comfort older adults may need as their needs change.
