Senior Living opens

Woodlands Senior Living has opened the doors to the first and only purpose-built memory care community in the Lakes Region area.

Woodlands Memory Care of Bridgton held a series of open house events earlier in the month. The first residents were welcomed beginning Tuesday.

“There is nothing more important to families than making sure their loved ones are given high quality care close to home and near their family and friends,” said Matthew Walters, managing member of Woodlands Senior Living. “The Lake Region now has a purposebuilt memory care community, which means it is specifically built to serve the unique needs of individuals living with memory impairment.

Woodlands has more than 20 years of experience developing and operating this type of specialized community with the knowhow and skillsets to provide the best possible care for our residents. We are excited to start accepting new residents and provide this service for the good people of the Lake Region.”

The 48-bed Bridgton community is 24,000 square feet, features 16 private rooms and 16 shared rooms, and will employ more than 30 staff. The community’s amenities and features include abundant natural light, home-scaled areas for resident engagement and safety systems.
