Mayflower Place

Mayflower Place sits at 27 Mayflower Dr in Sanford, Maine, and offers assisted living, memory care, home care, independent living, hospice, respite care, adult daycare, and residential care homes for seniors needing different levels of help, so if somebody needs assistance with common chores like cooking, cleaning, showering, or managing medications, the staff is fully trained, friendly, and always available day and night to lend a hand, plus there are licensed beds-36 of them-and apartments, all designed to feel comfortable, with a kitchen in every unit so people can feel at home, and they've got all sorts of daily living support, like help with bathing or moving from bed to wheelchair, and even special help for non-ambulatory folks, diabetics, and those with incontinence. For seniors with memory issues, the place has specialized memory care services for Alzheimer's or other dementias, with staff ready to coordinate care with Goodall Hospital and the State of Maine Department of Human Services if needed, offering 24-hour supervision, medication management, and a fast call system in case of emergencies. If anyone just wants to live independently but still likes having a little support, there are one-bedroom assisted living apartments-35 in all-besides senior apartments, and the place always has staff around, so folks don't have to worry if something happens late at night. People who come for only the day can use the adult daycare or families needing rest can use respite care options, and for those who want to stay at home but still need some help, trained aides can provide companionship and non-medical care right where they live. There are common rooms and indoor spaces for residents to sit and talk, walk paths, gardens, an arts room, and a barber/salon, so there's usually something going on, with both staff-led and resident-run activities to help people keep busy, socialize, or try something fun or educational, and there are devotional and offsite activities for mental, emotional, or spiritual health as well. Everyone gets three meals a day if they want, and they prepare meals suited for people with dietary needs, like allergy-friendly or diabetes-appropriate diets, with restaurant-style and all-day dining in the dining room for those who simply want to eat at their own pace, and there are services in English and features like emergency alert systems, phones in rooms, housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning, so folks can be comfortable and safe without worrying too much. Mayflower Place is licensed by state and local agencies, offers personal care, and tries to make folks feel like they belong, with a strong sense of community and family involvement, so people can get the support they need, feel comfortable, and still have choices every day about how they want to live, whether they need a little help or a lot.
