My grandfather lives at Baxter Place in Portland, Maine, a long term assisted living unit. One good thing about Baxter is there are less than 25 residents at all times. On the other hand, although they have a staff that includes physicians, RNs, CNAs, medicine technicians, social workers, etc it does seem that no matter when my grandfather pulls a call button for assistance in his room or bathroom, it takes an abnormally long amount of time for someone to arrive. They claim that they are short staffed, while they never appear to be, on a daily basis. In general I find the facilities to be standard but they seem to meet the needs of most residents. They include an outdoor patio and walking area, beauty salon, library, fish pond and a social dining setting. The food gets many complaints but I have not personally tried it. The patient rooms and facility in general seem fairly clean most of the time however it seems laundry goes to be washed and doesn't come back a lot. If I were to rate on a scale of 1-10, I'd have to give Baxter a 5.
