Continuing in line with OceanView’s Commitment to Sustainability, a new Electric Vehicle Charger has been installed on our campus, powered by solar energy. Barry Woods, Director of Electric Vehicle Innovation at ReVision Energy, says, “As we continue to see more electric vehicles come on the roads, there will be a real need to provide infrastructure to accommodate the increasing need for charging stations. Maine also has the highest usage of oil per capita than any other state, so finding energy alternatives is crucial in chipping-away at that number. Between all the solar installations and now this vehicle charger, OceanView really is ahead of the curve.” Read more

Yesterday, as part of the Alzheimer’s Association’s annual Walk to End Alzheimer’s, OceanView held its own walk to help raise awareness and collect donations to aid in treatment, care and research of the disease.

Residents and staff from our independent living, assisted living and memory care communities came out to show support. Everyone enjoyed the beautiful sunny weather, a perfect day for a walk!

OceanView’s fitness staff had plotted multiple routes on our 80-acre campus, utilizing walking paths and sidewalks, which allowed individuals to choose from different lengths and levels of terrain. Along the way, stations were set up with waters, apples and energy bars.

So far, OceanView has raised over $3,700 to directly benefit the Alzheimer’s Association! If you’d like join us in the fight against this disease, you may donate online at: act.alz.org/goto/legacyov

In 2003, OceanView owner, John Wasileski, purchased the historic Whipple Farm property and custom-built 42 homes, nestled into the hillside. The dedication of 5 acres of conservation land preserved the picturesque view of the original farmhouse, which now houses Whipple Farm Distinctive Dining and is used as an event and activity space for OceanView residents and their guests. This week, a celebratory 260th Anniversary Dinner was held in the farmhouse, featuring a Colonial-inspired tasting menu and a few special guests who hadn’t set foot in the house for decades.
