Apartment Living

Standard Apartment Details: Every apartment offers a 9-foot long private balcony, a galley-style kitchen with full-size stove and fridge, four roomy closets with shelving and hanging options, spacious bathroom with storage, heat lamp, and tub/shower safety details, separate bedroom(s) from living-dining space, sturdy metal front door with doorbell and peep hole to view visitors.

Utilities: All utilities, including Wi-Fi; we do not provide cable TV or telephone service. What’s new(ish)? We have brand new solar-powered, state-of-the-art self-controlled heating and cooling pumps installed by local vendors through a grant from Efficiency Maine.

Meals: Daily house made breakfast (7-10am) and noontime 3-course Main Meal served in our spacious and sunny Dining Rooms. For an extra charge, you can also join us for a 5pm Light Meal. Your guests are welcome with advance notice and a fee.

Housekeeping/Laundry: Personal housekeeper every week, including full laundry service. Trash/recycling pickup at your door every Monday through Friday at 9am.

Transportation: The Bartlett Medical Transport Van provides a ride to all medical appointments Monday through Friday and within 45 miles round-trip of our house. For those tenants driving regularly, one personal reserved parking spot is assigned to your vehicle, so long as it is in daily use. Rely on our Maintenance crew to clear away snow and ice during the winter.

Safety Services: Every resident is presented with an emergency call button upon admission. It connects directly to our 24 hour/7 day Resident Care Staff along with our vendor Seacoast Security.

Healthcare Options: We have an Registered Nurse serving as our Resident Care Director. She is available for verbal consultation. Otherwise, residents who need support (with medication management, bathing and dressing, wound care, etc.), sign up for a services plan offering a limited menu of Assisted Living healthcare services at an extra cost, per our State of Maine Level II License. At Bartlett Woods, there is no Memory Care or Skilled Nursing Care.

Activities and Social Life: Our creative Activities Department designs daily, weekly, and monthly programs that include shopping trips, concerts and theatre, dining out, and more. Our common rooms provide space for club meetings, classes, chamber music and guest speakers. Those spaces include exercise room, art center, media room, lending library, hair salon, garden patios and walking trail.

Pet Policy: Pending an interview with the resident and the pet, and assessment of caretaking capability as well as the pet’s overall behavior and health status, 1 dog or 1 cat may be admitted; a one-time pet fee applies. All residents must petition the Executive Director before seeking to bring a NEW pet into their home. Please ask to see our current pet policy.

We are not a part of MaineHealth, or any larger system. All residents pay privately for their expenses.
