I like the Gorham House. It's just that my wife needed to be in nursing care and they didn't have any beds in the nursing care area. I went to look at the assisted care unit, but the administrator there felt that my wife would need to be in the nursing care unit. My visit went very well. The people were very nice there and I liked the facility. I would recommend that facility to anyone. It's in a very nice area. It's not a crowded area. It's near to shopping and it's very well maintained. The dining room and living room areas were very well maintained. They're very nice. They have a lot of activities for the people there every day. It's a very well-maintained facility with good people that work there. They have courtyards, a garden out there, and some nice areas where you can go for walks around the building. It's very well maintained outside as well.

The staff members who gave me the tour of Gorham House Gorham ME were great. Most of the rooms are kind of what I would say are standard one-bedroom type apartments. There were social type things going on like a chair exercise session and things like that. The building is nice, though it's not as modern as some of the others that I've seen.

My mom has been at Gorham House for three years. She's started out in the independent plus unit and the end of last year, she had to go to rehab. Then she went right from rehab to the assisted living and next week she's going to the Alzheimer's unit. So, she's been in four units. In all four units, I have to give them 5 stars. I never had a negative experience. Everybody has bent over backwards. They're friendly, helpful and have mom's best interest at heart as well as mine. I also have to point out that every staff member in that Gorham House addresses every resident by their name and makes them feel like family. They're just so always supportive and open to listen to your concern. I was concern about the tub and my mom falling that they immediately put in a shower. I mean they were just so on it all the time. I also think the nurses are in competition in who could be the sweetest. I just love them. All day long they have somethingtoo. Of course, with my mom's Alzheimer's, she doesn't join in on all the activities. Every day they have listings of activities for the residents. In addition, my mom is very happy with the food. She never had any complaints about it at all. I have eaten there a couple of times too. The food is good and has a good variety. They have the option of eating in their rooms if they're not feeling good but of course that's nothing probably out of the ordinary. The dining room is lovely. It's carpeted with table cloth linens. I'm so blessed my mom is there.

Gorham House and the staff were very nice. They had different levels of care, from independent, to assisted, to memory care. They had a nursery school on the same campus, so the older adults can see the younger kids. They had a nice dining room. It seemed like a very engaged community.
