Maison Marcotte Housing, managed by Cecille Mathieu, sits at 100 Campus Ave in Lewiston, ME, and offers 128 private efficiency-style apartments for seniors age 65 and older who want to live on their own, with options mainly designed for single people but a few bigger places for couples, and there's an average one-bedroom unit size of about 640 square feet, each with a living room, full bath, kitchenette with a refrigerator, and the building, which will be renovated within the next five years under the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program, will be owned by Lewiston Housing after its transfer from St. Mary's Health System, and the staff, including management, maintenance, and care staff, remain on site full time, keeping things running smoothly. Residents can use a climate-controlled tunnel for easy access to St. Mary's Hospital and the d'Youville Pavilion, which is useful for healthcare appointments or emergencies, and the building also connects residents with local physicians, therapists, radiologists, and specialists, plus you'll see nine churches, 26 restaurants, ten pharmacies, and even two parks and several cafes all pretty close by, so there's plenty to do or visit.
Maison Marcotte Housing has amenities like an outdoor patio with gliders, a Marcotte Chapel for quiet reflection, the Campus Cuisine cafeteria, an activity room, a library, and eleven laundry rooms with big machines that work with cards, all spread across five floors where each floor has at least one full kitchen for shared use, which is handy if you like cooking. Community social events are frequent and can include bingo, card games, movies, exercise programs, holiday events, educational talks, tenant meetings, music, and even cooking demonstrations, so there are options for staying involved and active. The building doesn't allow pets, it's smoke-free inside and out, and residents get support services like housekeeping and transportation to keep daily life easier.
This residence focuses on independent living but offers a wide range of services, including senior care, memory care, companion care, hospice, and skilled nursing, along with more specialized dementia and Alzheimer's disease care, as well as podiatry care and both long- and short-term rehabs like physical, occupational, speech, and recreational therapies. There are communication devices available such as senior cell phones and hearing aids, plus safety features like medical alert systems (including Bay Alarm Medical, Medical Guardian, and ADT Medical Alert), along with safety guides, medication tools, and ID theft protection made for seniors. Residents and their caregivers also get programs and caregiver support, transportation help, and home care access as needed for staying at home as long as possible. The facility offers a mix of personal care suites, independent living, residential care home units, and some companion or suite-style options, with services tailored to what each senior might need, though it doesn't post its costs or specific program inventories.
Maison Marcotte Housing keeps the lifestyle senior-focused and resident-centered, with a strong focus on health, safety, and everyday comfort, allowing people to age in place, maintain independence, and access a supportive community right in the neighborhood.
