Ross Manor

Ross Manor, found at 758 Broadway in Bangor, ME, is a senior living community that provides several types of care for older adults who need different levels of help, and the place is split into areas with their own names like Sylvia Ross Home for assisted living, Engel Place for those with memory loss, and Waterman Skilled Unit for rehab, so there's a way for someone to get extra help if needed over time, with nursing services and support available at all hours through programs like Laurel Nursing Care and Williams Skilled Services. The building offers private living spaces, like the 14 assisted living apartments with full kitchens and bathrooms, which come in one- and two-bedroom layouts between 475 and 650 square feet, and there are also 40 private studio and one-bedroom apartments with nice views of the Thomas Hill Standpipe, letting someone live semi-independently with care close by. Amenities in the community aim to keep people comfortable and socially engaged, with a library that has a fireplace for quiet reading, a beauty salon, a craft room where folks can make things, and living rooms to gather in together, while bigger groups can use the full service dining room for meals or a private space for family parties or celebrations. The staff are trained, friendly, and ready to help with daily needs like bathing or dressing, and residents get personalized help, including rides and medical care if needed, and the place has a schedule of events, classes, and things to do to make staying active easier. Engel Place gives a caring setting for people with memory challenges, with staff using customized plans and activities to keep minds engaged, while Waterman Skilled Unit handles short-term rehab such as physical, speech, and occupational therapy. Ross Manor also has Ross Hospice with two private suites for hospice care, and long-term 24-hour care through Laurel Nursing Care if someone's needs increase. Residents can use common spaces to meet with neighbors, enjoy family gatherings, or just relax, while the social dining room serves as a spot where meals feel more like home. The community lets people keep using their social media accounts, like Facebook, when they use approved browsers, so folks stay connected, and the entire place tries to offer a mix of care and comfortable living that addresses both health and social needs as time passes, with oversight from Administrator Janet Hope, LSW.
