Sentry Hill At York Harbor sits in a special spot close to Harbor Beach and York Village, right on beautiful grounds with gardens and walking paths, and the whole property covers about 12 acres, so there's room for strolls and to enjoy the outdoors, and the building itself has that grand, hotel-style look with shingle siding and a wood frame, built back in 1998. The community offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care, giving people options if needs change, and there's even a sister community, Durgin Pines, that offers skilled nursing and rehabilitative care when that time might come. Units come as co-operative apartments-there are 26 in total-and there's a move-in ready unit with about 616 square feet, with one bedroom and one bathroom, a concrete foundation, pitched shingle roof, and a layout that gets lots of light thanks to the elevator building design. Each unit has features for easy living, such as level entry, elevator or chair lift access, wide doors and halls, and some other helpful modifications to make getting around easier if walking becomes hard.
Heating and hot water use baseboard systems run off bottled gas, and utilities such as central air, electric range, fridge, dishwasher, and garbage disposal are all included. Parking is off-street and paved with spaces for a few cars, and there's garage parking for a small fee. The monthly maintenance fee covers most needs: heat, hot water, electric, central A/C, property taxes, an evening meal, outdoor parking, weekly housekeeping, laundry service, and regular staff maintenance. For a little extra, residents can get more meals, and there are transportation services for appointments or errands. Meals are chef-prepared, there are both private and group options, and they offer vegetarian choices too.
Sentry Hill organizes daily life around activities, both on-site and off, like creative workshops, fitness classes in the on-site studio, book clubs, games, arts and crafts, music programs, and there's a busy social calendar planned by staff. The library and beauty salon are open for residents' use, and there are indoor and outdoor gathering spaces for when folks want to visit or join in something fun. The community is pet-friendly. Apartments, which come in condo-type layouts or as rental options, include access to all areas of the amenity-rich campus, whether it's the atrium for sunny days or shaded courtyards for quiet moments. Emergency call systems, 24/7 staff, and programs like Browning Lane for memory care make safety and specialized support available for those who need it, while those who want independence can simply enjoy the perks of maintenance-free living and freedom to join events as they wish. This is a place that emphasizes choice, comfort, and letting people set their own pace, while being ready to step in when extra help is needed.
