The Odd Fellows' and Rebekahs' Home of Maine sits in Auburn and has a long tradition of caring for older adults, offering both assisted living and skilled nursing services. The facility is non-profit and has ties to The Independent Order of Odd Fellows and Rebekahs, which brings a focus on community and fellowship. The home provides 35 private rooms in its residential care area, and since 1993 has had a nursing care facility to help meet growing medical needs, with 24/7 professional staffing and a 24-hour call system for support. Residents get help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, moving around, and there's staff for medication management and help with mobility and transfers. The building has an elevator and ramps, so folks who use wheelchairs or have trouble walking can get around more easily. Living spaces come fully furnished with basic comforts like cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, a kitchenette, and access to high-speed internet.
Meals are home-cooked and healthy, with choices to fit special dietary needs or diabetes, plus snacks every day. Residents eat in a shared dining room, and there's a beauty parlor for hair care. The facility takes care of laundry and cleaning every day. Activities fill the schedule-staff arrange daily programs, games, religious services, and special celebrations for holidays and birthdays so people can stay mentally active and connect with others. There's a community room with antique decorations, a library for quiet reading, and a large covered deck for sitting outside. The building is surrounded by well-kept gardens and outdoor spaces for fresh air or visiting with friends. People can get rides to appointments, shopping trips, or outings.
Staff work with outside healthcare providers and support each person with mental wellness programs and personal care plans. The place runs like a small community, with news updates, special events, and ways to volunteer or get involved. The biggest goal is to make everyone feel at home and cared for, whether someone needs assisted living, memory care, or skilled nursing. The Odd Fellows' and Rebekahs' Home of Maine holds about 37 residents and aims to keep things comfortable, safe, and friendly.
