Atria Kennebunk

Atria Kennebunk sits close to the rocky Maine coast in Kennebunk and offers a friendly and quiet place for adults over 55, where folks can enjoy simple coastal living while still having all the comforts they might need, with apartments available in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, and plenty of cozy common rooms, fireplaces, and an outdoor patio garden, and even raised gardening beds for those who enjoy tending plants in the fresh air. The whole place is set up for independent living, assisted living, and memory care, and there's a memory care neighborhood called Life Guidance® that focuses on supporting people with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with trained staff on hand at all hours, technology like bracelets to prevent wandering, and activity programs from sensory-based therapy to reminiscence groups, special escape prevention measures, and a secure environment. Folks dealing with daily needs get help with bathing, getting dressed, moving around, and managing medicines-including diabetic care-with care plans made from personal assessments, and there are incontinence reminders or support if needed, plus help for people who might be prone to wandering or acting out. Meals are included and served each day in a restaurant-style dining room or with room service, and food choices cover everything from gluten-free and vegetarian to low-sugar and international options, so anyone can find something to eat, and you can even have guests join meals in a private dining room. There's a full-time activities director who puts together over 250 things to do each month, ranging from stretch classes, art or cooking classes, art groups, and yoga, to brain fitness, trips to concerts in the park, local theater, shopping, and even beach walks along Middle Beach or Gooch's Beach, so there's always a way to be out and about or stay engaged right at home, whether folks like trivia, movies, devotional services, gardening, or even community service projects. The place is pet-friendly, so cats and dogs can move in too, and they offer Wi-Fi, TV lounges, a movie room, a library, game room, beauty salon, and haircare, and there's always someone around to help, since staff are up all hours, and a nurse is on staff too. Extra services like housekeeping, laundry, transportation to appointments, parking, and apartment maintenance are part of the package, and if someone needs rehab, physical or speech therapy, or even hospice or respite care, outside providers can come in for that. Safety's built in, with an emergency call system in each apartment, secure walking paths, and both indoor and outdoor common spaces for everyone to gather, plus a tranquil, small town setting that feels homelike and peaceful. Protections are in place for LGBTQ residents and all income sources, making sure everyone's treated fairly, and the whole idea is to let people age in place, moving between independent living, assisted living, or memory care as needs change, so they can stay at Atria Kennebunk as long as they like, with discreet help always at hand and spaces that support both social time and quiet relaxation.
