Tissues Country Estates sits at 212 Fox Hill Road in Athens, Maine and has 20 licensed beds in an all-female community, and the place operates every day around the clock, making sure someone is always there for the ladies who live there, and the facility is a Pnmi Level IV Residential Care Facility, which means it's got a state or local license and can handle long-term care for seniors, with different assisted living and memory care services, and you'll find most folks getting help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, medication management, meals, and personal care, and for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, the memory care makes sure there's less confusion and helps keep residents safe and comfortable. The staff at Tissues Country Estates covers a range of roles, from the front-line caregivers all the way to the support team, and they seem to focus on serving each lady's physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs with kindness and dedication, and the culture there is said to be friendly with staff recognized for being helpful and joyful.
The buildings have well-appointed bedrooms, living rooms, lounges, and dining areas that make for a comfortable and homelike setting, and they've got plenty of shared spaces for socializing and doing group activities, including devotional gatherings right on-site and out in the community for those looking for spiritual connection. You'll find nutritious meals prepared by chefs and meal planners who try to focus on quality ingredients and taste, so meals are part of the routine, and beyond that, dietary services, housekeeping, and laundry are all taken care of, which lets residents focus on things they enjoy. For folks who don't need quite as much support, Tissues Country Estates has options for more independent living, and the range of housing choices is shaped by each resident's unique needs and level of independence.
The community offers a steady program of year-round activities, both inside and outside, like walking trails, trips to public libraries, and shopping, so there's plenty to do, and local transportation is provided for residents' convenience. Healthcare services include diabetic care, non-ambulatory care, incontinence care, and even home care with trained aides for companionship and non-medical needs, and for families who need a break, respite care allows short-term stays. Multiple airports within 25 miles make visiting easier for family, plus off-site medical care is available, including in Skowhegan. Tissues Country Estates accepts long-term care residents but doesn't take Medicare unless specifically certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Floor plan options and scheduled tours are available for families considering this facility. It's designed to offer a supportive and safe environment where each resident's dignity and independence are respected, and the commitment by both staff and the community helps bring peace of mind to families.
