    About Maine Veterans' Home - Caribou

    Maine Veterans' Home - Caribou sits in a country setting in Aroostook County, Maine, and provides specialized care and services to veterans and their eligible family members in a dedicated, nonprofit facility that's been around since 1990, run by Administrator Melissa Graham, and located at 163 Van Buren Road, Suite 2. The place serves up to 70 people, with 30 beds for residential care and 40 beds for nursing and skilled care, and staff of about 80 working around the clock, offering everything from long-term and short-term skilled nursing care, rehab and therapy, memory care, respite care, and full residential care for veterans who'd rather not live alone or may need more help than family can provide at home. The staff here focus on veterans' health and social needs, building care plans that blend nursing care, rehab and therapy, and a schedule of activities that help people stay active and social. Veterans and their family members find comfort in private rooms, quiet rooms for rest and meditation, two dining rooms for meals with friends and family, and home-style suppers brought in by local Veteran groups, so meals often feel like home, while the Registered Dietician supervises healthy menus that change. You'll see nice touches like an outdoor courtyard for fresh air or cook-outs, a wheelchair-accessible van and bus for outings around the area, and a barber and beauty shop to help folks look their best. There's a therapy unit and gym for rehab, multi-purpose rooms with a large-screen TV and a piano, and the facility holds special programs and activities, with outings to local Veteran events, bowling, and visits to the Performing Arts Center giving residents a good way to get out and about. RN coverage is available day and night, and a Medical Director and Physician Services stay onsite to manage care, keeping in mind that staff here get special training to meet the physical and emotional needs of veterans. The facility doesn't allow pets, but it offers access to quiet, restful spaces and a home-like feel, whether in its private rooms or in gathering spaces designed to bring people together. Maine Veterans' Home - Caribou lists its services on A Place For Mom as a senior living community and keeps up a website for more information, while promotions and scheduled tours are available for those interested. The review score isn't available, so you'll want to visit and see the place yourself if you're thinking about it for a loved one who served.
