Mainestays at Flower Cottage offers assisted living in several historic and home-like settings across Maine, where residents can find apartments designed for one or two people, each with full kitchens and wheelchair-accessible bathrooms, so there's more comfort and independence. The building in Topsham sits right next to Brunswick and used to be an 1840s mansion, giving it a cozy, non-institutionalized feel, and you can find large windows, plenty of sunlight, views, outdoor gardens, and a big deck where people like to gather. In Augusta, the assisted living apartments are in the old Inn at City Hall, and folks get services that aim to keep their independence, with help as needed and individual attention from staff.
They serve about 130 beds for elderly residents in Auburn, and a smaller 28-bed program there prioritizes support and security while making sure residents can do as much for themselves as possible, and you'll find pet-friendly options since they know pets are important. There's St. Andrews Village in Boothbay Harbor for those who need Alzheimer's care or regular assisted living, and all locations make an effort to provide personal care with trained nurses and caregivers on hand.
Mainestays at Flower Cottage has a wide range of care-from basic daily support like bathing and cooking to memory care, long-term skilled nursing, and rehabilitation services, such as Bay View Physical Therapy at Machias, and there's even walk-in medical help at on-site medical clinics. Residents who want something more holistic might find massage therapy, homeopathy, counseling, and even free anger management or marriage classes, plus advocacy and community health counseling for those needing social support.
Seniors living here get both home-cooked meals and living spaces that try to balance privacy with social opportunities, with community features, regular activity programs, and help for folks wanting an active lifestyle. The staff can help provide transportation, temporary or long-term help, companionship, and even home support through local agencies. Mainestays at Flower Cottage tries to cater to many interests, offering wellness, education, and entertainment activities, and seeks to support both independence and well-being.
Besides senior care, the place also gives residents and professionals tools for digital content needs. They've got services for creating flipbooks, digital portfolios, lookbooks, digital magazines, and photo albums, so people or organizations can manage and publish content, and they've made partnerships with programs like Canva, HubSpot, Adobe Express, and Adobe InDesign for marketing or communications. There's full-screen sharing and embedding for websites or blogs, tools for making social posts or GIFs, ways to track statistics, add links and videos, and offer many formats like digital books, newspapers, PDFs, and more, helping groups everywhere from schools to real estate companies to nonprofits.
Mainestays at Flower Cottage stays focused on safety and well-being, offers flexible levels of care and amenities, and lets seniors enjoy a secure, home-like space that values both community ties and personal preferences.
