Scarborough Terrace sits at 600 Commerce Drive in Scarborough, Maine, and is a family-owned, boutique-sized community offering both assisted living and memory care, where the staff provides support with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medicine. The on-site team includes UNE's MatureCare doctors and nurse practitioners who are around 24/7, so residents can get medical help when needed. You'll find memory care and dementia care services along with short-term accommodations for those recovering from surgery or illness, as well as respite and adult day care options. The setting here feels private and calm, yet it's right in the middle of a busy but welcoming campus, and the grounds have gardens, trees, walking paths, a peaceful courtyard, and even patios where many folks like to spend time. There are also lots of places inside for socializing, like a residents lounge, a sunroom, a movie theater, a library, and a screened porch, so there's almost always somewhere to sit and chat or join an activity. The living areas offer both furnished and unfurnished rooms, each with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and emergency call systems, and the building is wheelchair-accessible with elevators and controlled entry for safety.
Activity programs fill the calendar, from outdoor walks, lectures, and religious services to book discussions, cooking classes, arts and crafts, and computer classes, which help people stay active and connected. Common spaces are designed for people to meet each other, with areas for games and clubs, and sometimes there are cocktail socials or movie nights. Residents have meals in a restaurant-style dining room, and staff takes care of laundry, housekeeping, and transportation to appointments or outings. There's a beauty salon on the property with styling chairs, sinks, and manicure tables, plus a fitness center for exercise, and if needed, medication management is available too. Many staff members here have been with the Terrace for years and know the residents and routines well, giving the place a friendly, familiar feeling. With management by Terrace Communities-which also operates Wheelock Terrace, Tequesta Terrace, and Equinox Terrace-Scarborough Terrace focuses on health, wellbeing, and community, helping seniors live with dignity and support as they age. If someone wants to see the place, there are tours available to meet the staff, talk with residents, and get a good feel for everyday life at Scarborough Terrace.
