Braggs Boarding Home

Braggs Boarding Home sits in a quiet, residential part of Madison, ME, and offers a small, country-style setting for seniors who need daily help and support, so you'll see it called a board and care home or a residential care home. The staff focuses on helping elderly people with tasks like dressing, bathing, medication, meals, and supervision, and the home takes residents who may need higher levels of care after a hospital stay, illness, surgery, or for those with dementia who need to stay safe. Residents have their own private or shared bedrooms, some with private baths and decks, and there are sunrooms, fireplaced sitting rooms, wood stove living rooms, libraries, and common dining spaces that feel homelike. The kitchen offers healthy food and sometimes residents pick fresh produce right out of the garden when it's in season, and there are activities planned, including trips outside the home. Braggs Boarding Home offers respite care for caregivers who need short breaks and provides a safe, supervised environment with a live-in caregiver for each home. Unique to Braggs, the home arranges funeral, memorial, and cremation services, along with sympathy flowers, and there's also flower delivery for other special occasions like birthdays, weddings, graduations, and anniversaries, along with special arrangements such as standing sprays, wreaths, corsages, patriotic flowers, get well, and new baby arrangements, plus flowers for ceremonies, receptions, hairpieces, and handheld bouquets, which is something you won't often see in other places. You won't find pet-friendly accommodations here. There are scheduled tours for anyone considering moving in. Braggs doesn't call out specialized care units like memory care or assisted living, but they do offer personal care, support, and a simple neighborhood home where older adults get the help they need.
