Supportive Care Options in Scarborough, Maine

Scarborough Terrace proudly provides top-of-the-line care for residents with dementia and memory care issues in Scarborough, Maine and towns in the greater Portland area. The Rose Garden—with its cozy, light-filled and intimate setting—is home to our specialized memory care program available to residents with Alzheimer's, dementia, and other forms of memory loss. Every resident is cared for by our compassionate, skilled team of professionals with many years of knowledge and experience. Our memory care program is much smaller than others in the area, so our residents receive very personalized attention and enjoy home-like intimacy.

When it comes to memory care, we’ve got the family experience. You want to trust your parent or loved one to a memory care community that has a track record of providing compassionate care. That’s why so many families choose Scarborough Terrace. We enjoy longstanding loyalty among our staff members—some of whom have been with us since just after we opened our doors in 1996. These treasured employees have memory care training and experience and an abiding respect for the individuals they serve. Memory care residents at Scarborough Terrace enjoy relaxing, supervised walks among the gardens and pines, as well as participating in engaging activities.

Our trained personnel perform an in-depth review of each resident's history to create a memory care profile and advanced care program tailored to their individual needs. We are able to use our understanding of the issues that residents may encounter throughout the course of their care to put our residents and their families at ease.
