Asi-Leighton Street

Asi-Leighton Street sits at 1 Leighton Street in Waterville, Maine, and is a small assisted living and memory care community with only 5 beds, so everyone gets to know each other pretty quick, and there's always someone around to help, but there's not much in the way of privacy since most spaces and activities are shared. Residents get 24-hour supervision, support with bathing, dressing, medication, and all those daily needs, and the staff provides personalized assistance, so people with intellectual or developmental disabilities, mental illness, or memory-related issues can find the support they need without being left alone or feeling forgotten, and folks see both medical and dental providers as needed, with care for special diets like diabetes and allergy concerns, but you won't find fancy on-site hospitals or advanced healthcare, just the basics and help getting to medical appointments. The place offers fully furnished studio rooms, housekeeping, meal service with chef-prepared dishes, and laundry services, so you don't have to fuss with chores or cooking, and there's a dining room where meals are served, but don't expect a big, flashy dining hall or extensive dining options - they keep it simple and sensitive to health needs. There are a handful of scheduled activities like movie nights, group outings into the neighborhood, and some opportunities for socialization through programs and events, but recreational options on-site are pretty limited, and there's not much in the way of spiritual support or special clubs. You'll find walking paths, a community garden, and a welcoming setting for outdoor leisure, but the main focus is on providing a safe, maintenance-free living space, rather than loads of leisure or recreational bells and whistles. There's an emergency alert system if someone needs quick help, and transportation is available for doctor trips, but most outings are simple and nearby, like going to a local café or park. The team supports community inclusion and encourages residents to gain skills around personal safety, using public services, managing money, and getting around, which makes it feel more like home instead of an institution, and the atmosphere stays friendly, with chances for social connections and family visits. Some people might wish for more independence or privacy, but the support and assistance are always close by. The facility belongs to a group offering other care homes in the area like Quarry Road Residential Center, Camera Residential Home, and Cedar Ridge Center, which means options for different needs like skilled nursing, memory care, and respite care are available through the broader community. The main website lists all the types of support - from assisted living to home care and adult day programs - along with information on room layouts, availability, and pricing, so potential residents and families know what to expect. The staff aims to respect each person's choices and culture while providing essential care, and the whole setup works best for those who want a close-knit, small environment over a big facility with lots of extras.
