Hillside

Hillside sits at 1172 Dexter Rd in Dover-Foxcroft, ME, and operates as a licensed Residential Care Facility - Level III with three licensed beds, and it's known for its small, close-knit setting where seniors get assisted care, memory care, skilled nursing, and independent living options, along with home care if it's needed. Hillside offers help with daily things like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication, plus meals in a dining room with flexible hours, and they handle special diets like diabetes or allergies. Families often appreciate the 24-hour supervision, the emergency alert system, the community room, and accessible walking paths and gardens, so people can move around easily and spend time outside. Residents can use furnished rooms, have their own phones, get housekeeping and laundry help, and join community activities or social events like movie nights, and the place often arranges transportation and parking, too. There's support for people needing help with activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living, and they'll coordinate with outside healthcare providers and even arrange move-in help. Hillside covers a lot of care situations - they can provide respite care, hospice support, or dementia care under set conditions, and their nursing team offers basic medical supervision, sometimes more if skilled nursing is called for. The building is wheelchair accessible, so it's easier for residents with mobility issues, and the staff includes people who understand the needs of folks with memory problems, offering programs and activities for memory support. Hillside is part of a larger group with sister facilities around Maine, but Hillside's smaller size means you'll likely see familiar faces and the staff can focus on personal care. The facility offers long-term, non-acute care and doesn't take Medicare unless certified, but it does have a good system in place for helping seniors and their families with peace of mind and practical care day to day.
