Elm Street Assisted Living

Elm Street Assisted Living sits at 56 Elm Street in Topsham, Maine, and offers a small, home-like setting with only eight licensed beds, providing care for both assisted living and memory care residents, and you'll notice right off it's quieter and more personal than a big facility since there are just six private rooms with a half bath each-so if you move in, you likely won't feel crowded, and staff get to know everyone pretty well, especially since the same five staff members provide support. Security runs throughout with in-room emergency systems and a main security setup, while caregivers stay on site and available around the clock. Residents get help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication, and services include personalized care plans, special caregivers for dementia or memory loss, and coordination with outside health providers if needed, plus support for higher care needs like diabetic and incontinence care. There's a warm kitchen and dining area where everyone gathers for home-cooked meals, whether traditional, dairy-free, gluten-free, or vegetarian, and staff make sure snacks are always nearby, so food's not a worry. The building's comfortable with wireless internet, telephone, and cable hookups in each room, two large group living rooms with a piano, computer, "community" TV, and lots of books and quiet reading spaces, and the whole place is built to feel familiar and homelike, with no winding halls or closed-off stations. For fun and exercise, Elm Street Assisted Living provides walking and jogging paths, scheduled activities, movie nights, musical groups, storytelling, and sewing circles, and there are garden spots, a theatre room, a chapel, and a library. The place is pet-friendly so you can usually bring a cat or small dog-residents often appreciate that-and it's wheelchair accessible, so mobility challenges are better managed. Transportation services make it easier to get to doctors' appointments and run errands, and housekeeping, laundry, and pharmacy services help take care of daily needs. There's parking for residents, plus concierge help for arranging extra services or outings. The community welcomes both men and women, and they encourage everyone to join in social, devotional, and fitness activities planned by staff, many of whom share similar interests with residents. Elm Street Assisted Living focuses on letting folks live as independently as possible while feeling safe and supported in a familiar space, serving people in Topsham, in the Brunswick area, and offering comfort to families who want peace of mind. This facility doesn't take Medicare unless it's certified through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and it's licensed as a Level IV Residential Care Facility by local and state rules.
