I visited Gorham House. They're very pleasant, but it is beyond my price range. I specifically visited independent living. It is a nicely laid out place, and it looked good, but it costs more than I wanted to pay, and I could get a very similar accommodation at the same price here in Portland and not have to drive to Gorham, which I don't want to do because it is just not my neighborhood. It's a fine place, but not what I want. The staff was very pleasant. It was a very nice atmosphere. It was clean and well laid out. It was a place I would haven't minded living, but it wasn't outstanding in my eyes. The lady who showed me around was quite nice.

I like Gorham House. My mother is in independent plus, which is independent living plus a little bit of help with medications. The staff is amazing, and 80% of them have been there for 20 years or more. The food is average. They have a super busy social life with a lot of activities. It's a comfortable, healthy, warm, and loving place for an old lady.

I toured all the levels of care at Gorham House. It's a very nice community. The place is very clean and it had a good amount of space. If I'm looking for a place for my mom right now, I would move her there even though it's a little far from our place. We saw the dining area. I was very impressed with the whole place and they have everything I was looking for. They staff was very welcoming. I have a friend who has her mother living there and they're also very happy with the place.

My mom is very happy at Gorham House. The staff is very caring and nice. The administration is very helpful when you have issues and tend to it quickly. The food and the chef are very good and cater to people if there's a certain thing that they really like. On special days, he comes out and makes sure they're happy. They have a lot of good activities, and people come in and play old music. They have entertainment and social hours two days a week where they provide cheese and crackers. It's a very nice facility, and we're very happy with it. She's in one of the larger units: a two-bedroom with three big closets, which she likes, and a bathroom with a walk-in shower. When you move in, they repaint everything according to what colors you want and redo carpet and flooring, so it feels like you're going into a new unit, which is very nice. There are also lots of windows, so it's nice.

I have no complaints at Gorham House. Everything is great. My mom's apartment is very nice. I like the staff, they're fantastic. I have eaten there once or twice. The food is not fabulous but it's okay.

I like Gorham House very much. I am in the independent living unit. When I started, I got the names of all the houses in two counties, checked them all out and this is the one I liked. I walked out of many houses that are beutiful, but they are all old people. We walked in here and they were having a good time. I have a nice three bedroom apartment. I just came from the dining area and its fine as well as the food. In other words, I'm quite happy with the place.

They're very nice at Gorham House, had activities all of the time, and allowed volunteers to come in and do certain activities. I would recommend them because they are friendly, allow you to have freedom, and has roomy apartments. You have a choice of one-bedroom or two-bedroom, and they're big enough for independent living. You can go into assisted living there.
