With the vast majority of our residents and staff having completed their Covid-19 vaccination series more than two weeks ago, we are grateful to be able to safely offer limited in-person services and amenities!
As people age, needs can change and factors that may not have been considered previously now come into focus. Moving into a retirement community that offers assisted living helps seniors live their lives to the fullest. Communities like OceanView at Falmouth give seniors the freedom to enjoy retirement with the assurance that any assistance needed is right at their fingertips. Assisted Living can sometimes be accessed directly from the home without transitioning through the community from Independent Living.
After a year of having to decline requests for community tours, we are very happy to announce that we are once again able to offer public visits. In accordance with the Maine CDC guidelines, individuals who would like to schedule a tour must have completed their COVID vaccination series at least two weeks prior, will be prescreened at our door, wear a face covering and maintain 6-foot social distancing.
There are many wonderful benefits to consider Maine for active, independent retirement living – fresh air, unique local culture, nature trails and hikes seemingly around every corner, and the city of Portland, which has a downtown made for walking and a food scene like no other. But did you know that living in the Portland Maine area may actually help you live longer?

There are wonderful advantages to volunteering as a senior – especially now, when life is challenging for so many. Not only are you giving back to your community, but studies have shown that those who volunteer may even experience an improvement in their mental health! Given the current pandemic, it may not always be safe to do so in person, which is why finding virtual ways to volunteer is a great way to get involved and stay active in your retirement. Virtual volunteers are just as appreciated (and just as necessary!) as those who volunteer in person.
