Q: What do you mean by "independent living?"

A: Our residents are self-reliant, as they would be if they lived in their own home, and engage in all day-to-day living activities such as meal preparation, driving to the store, shopping, personal care and all other necessities. We also accommodate residents who can live independently with the help of a spouse or part-time assistant. Our staff does not provide healthcare assistance. We enable seniors to live independently while also enjoying the community and fellowship of capable peers in a supportive environment.

Q: Is there parking near the apartments?

A: Yes, parking lots are located near each apartment building and some buildings feature carports.

Q: Does each apartment have a kitchen?

A: Yes, each has a full galley kitchen that includes an oven and refrigerator.

Q: What are the apartment sizes?

A: Our two North Campus apartment buildings feature 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments that range in size from 552 sq. ft. to 944 sq. ft. Our South Campus is comprised of duplex, 4-plex and 6-plex cottages with apartments featuring more closet space, decks and other features. They range in size from 624 sq. ft. to 1176 sq. ft.

Q: If I have overnight visitors, where can they stay?

A: A guest apartment on the grounds that sleeps four can be reserved by calling in advance. Also, there are several hotels, motels, and bed and breakfasts in nearby Kittery and surrounding areas. Guests can also stay overnight in resident apartments if not overcrowded.
