57 Winthrop Street sits in Augusta, Maine, and you'll find an old Colonial-style home from 1890 with a brick and granite foundation, vinyl walls, and a gable roof, spread out over a 0.40-acre lot, and when you walk inside, you'll see it's a big place-about 8,000 square feet-and folks get either private or shared rooms among the 17 bedrooms and 5 full bathrooms, though there are also details saying it has 8 bedrooms and 7 baths, so what you'll get may depend on the arrangement at the time. The building's got two stories and one unit and stays pretty average in its upkeep, giving it a steady, lived-in feel, and there's a communal dining room, so nobody's eating alone unless they want to, and you get indoor and outdoor common areas, a porch, and a computer spot with internet if you need to look something up or stay in touch with family, plus cable TV, WiFi, and a simple pantry. Meals come with your stay, and they can set up special diets like cardiac, diabetic, or kosher meals if that's what you need, and there's a first-floor laundry, showers and bathtubs, and new folks can find that there's a master bedroom with a bath on the first floor, which is handy for anyone who's got trouble with stairs.
Staff stick around day and night, always available, including CNA/NAR, HCA/HHA, and Med Tech workers, and they help with just about everything-bathing, dressing, transfers, medication reminders or administration, and even more complicated stuff like showering, feeding, and incontinence care including peri care and ostomy care. They have a locked medicine room or cabinet for safety, handrails in halls and bathrooms, and offer medical management, too, so medications stay on schedule. Wheelchair and walker users can get around without too much trouble, and transfer and ambulation help's always part of the deal, and for folks who can't get up, staff can help those who are bed-bound. A security and fire system and sprinklers keep an extra layer of protection on the house, and if something happens, everyone's prepared. The home's got a focus on women, especially those looking for stability and a safe place, and they offer on-site devotional activities, support programs, and even help getting to doctor's appointments or other places in town, with simple parking and some transportation built in. They'll let home health companies and hospice come in, too, if someone's got extra medical needs near the end of life or wants care from outside providers.
Respite care's available for folks who need short stays, and meals, personal care, and whole lot of assistance with Activities of Daily Living-like bathing, toileting, eating, getting dressed-are a regular thing, and the place offers independence-styled living, supportive services, and help with almost any daily routine. Staff arrange for medical appointments and coordinate with healthcare workers as needed. Safety's kept in mind throughout, with medication management, a secure environment, and simple security systems. There's even an activity calendar and basic amenities like showers, baths, pantry, and furnished spaces, giving everyone a few comforts of home. There's no cooling system, and heating runs on forced hot water and bottled gas, so winters are warm enough, though summers might get warm. The property's got an assessed value between $165,300 and $363,500, and folks usually rent for about $2,811 a month. You'll find it inside the STEVENS COMMONS subdivision, close to local schools and public transit, and the house stands as a state-licensed residential care home that accepts private pay, insurance including long-term care, VA, and cash payments. The whole setup offers women a safe, steady, and helpful place to live with plenty of support in a big, historic Maine house.
