Cadigan Lodge sits at 54 Governor's Way in Topsham, Maine, offering senior living options that include assisted living, memory care, respite, and hospice services. The building holds up to 60 residents, with single bedrooms, studios, and shared apartments, the spaces coming well-furnished and set up with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, closets, cable, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning, so folks can stay comfortable, and rooms are wheelchair-accessible with pull cords and ADA-compliant bathrooms for safety. Meals matter here, and the dining room serves three homemade meals a day with menus for allergies, diabetes, and other special diets, and folks can make requests for birthdays or special occasions, plus meals are set up restaurant-style which can be nice for company.
There's a nurse on staff and aides around the clock, and residents can get help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and taking medicine. The care team tracks health with regular assessments from a licensed physician, supports insulin management, offers memory care for dementia or Alzheimer's, and there's therapy on-site for people needing rehabilitation or help with Parkinson's. Each person gets a care plan that tries to fit their own needs and routines, and support is available for folks who are mostly independent but sometimes need help with things like meals, showering, or getting around.
Cadigan Lodge tries to keep life active. Folks can walk tree-lined trails or sit in the gardens, join community and resident-run events, use a book room, play in a games room, or use the computer center. Scheduled activities include exercise, music and animal therapy, movie nights, and art and crafts, and there are trips for shopping, appointments, or faith services. There's a sauna, jacuzzi, heated pool, and a wellness center, and beauty needs are met with a hair salon and barber shop right there on site, or even with a visiting mobile hairdresser. Residents with memory concerns get safe spaces and extra support for daily life. It's secure with 24/7 staff, a keypad entry, emergency pendants, and on-site security, so families can feel better about safety.
Amenities help with comfort and ease, including laundry, linens, housekeeping, and help with moving in or around the apartments. Housekeepers pick up after folks, coordinate moves, and there's always someone to support with transfers. There's on-site parking and scheduled rides to the store or the doctor, with the Lodge's own van for group trips, too. Between library corners, a dining hall, lounges, activity and music rooms, and places for cooking and crafts, people have options for how they want to spend their days. Support is flexible for those staying short-term, like with respite care, and the Lodge puts attention on personal needs-whether someone's set to live for a while, needs a place just for recovery, or is looking for regular companionship and care in daily living.
