Aging Excellence offers different types of senior care, with services grouped under things like Counseling, Mental Health, Case Management, and Personal Care, and the communities cover independent living, assisted living, board and care homes, memory care, skilled nursing, and full continuing care retirement communities; you've got places like Edgewood Center and The Inn at Edgewood for assisted living and memory care, while independent living areas keep things simple with a maintenance-free lifestyle, giving you resort-style amenities, social activities, furnished rooms, telephone access, and all-day dining with special diets if needed. Board and care homes sit in regular neighborhoods and offer daily help to just a few residents, and in the bigger continuing care communities, seniors can move from independent to full nursing care as their needs change, letting folks age in place without having to move again. Memory care communities help people with dementia or Alzheimer's in safe spaces with memory-building activities, constant supervision, and 24-hour support, while skilled nursing handles around-the-clock medical care, wound care, and rehabilitation for those who need it, plus there's home health care available for extra support.
Aging Excellence keeps a medium-sized community and supports everyone with things like medication reminders, help with bathing, dressing, and moving between rooms, and there are 24-hour call systems in place for safety, with personalized attention and licensed massage therapists on staff-not many places mention that. Folks get regular meals in a dining room or even restaurant-style, with adjustments for allergies and diabetes, and teams manage housekeeping, laundry, scheduled daily activities, organized outings, movie nights, library visits, and time in gardens or on walking paths, so residents can stay busy and connected, and social companionship is part of the routine. There's transportation for doctor's visits, local hospitals, pharmacies, and special appointments, and transitions are easier thanks to move-in coordinators. The main office sits on Forest Ave in Portland, Maine, but there are offices in Auburn, Augusta, Bangor, Brunswick, Camden/Rockland, Kennebunk, Moultonborough, and Portsmouth, plus Florida and New Hampshire branches, and several more regional addresses, all operating with a small but dedicated team of 11 to 50 employees in a privately owned setup.
Services focus on helping people stay as independent and social as they can, whether it means daily household chores, yard care, handyman help, personal care, or specialty services like memory and hospice care, and seniors, family, and caregivers can get help with care planning, finding jobs, checking reviews, and using an online sign-in feature for up-to-date information. Caregivers include Registered Nurses, LPNs, CNAs, case managers, home health aides, and others trained especially for elder care and supporting both clients and their families. Each office works as its own center for information, support, and sometimes connects people with hospitals, nursing homes, dialysis centers, hospices, therapy clinics, and more community supports, making it a hub for guidance and finding the right care as people age, handle daily health needs, or manage tough transitions.
