Coastal Shores, Inc. is a 40-bed assisted living community at 142 Neptune Drive in Brunswick, Maine, serving the Cumberland County area. Managed by Wendy A. Rider, the facility holds an active Assisted Housing license (PND2380) expiring September 29, 2026.
The community operates as a state-licensed residential facility providing 24-hour healthcare oversight for seniors requiring physical or cognitive support. While the Maine Department of Health and Human Services has conducted 38 inspections here, nearly four times the state average of 10, current 2026 filings show the facility maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. The community currently maintains a 98% occupancy rate, with 39 of its 40 beds filled, which is significantly higher than the Maine state average of 83.1%. No complaint investigations or enforcement actions appear in available records.
Nursing and certified staff are available 24/7 to manage medication administration, wellness monitoring, and assistance with activities of daily living. The clinical team coordinates specialized services including podiatry and therapy through ancillary partnerships. The facility’s October 2024 inspection cited 11 deficiencies, including medication administration errors, improper medication storage, and incomplete records. These findings also noted infrastructure items such as water temperature concerns, outstanding boiler inspections, and window maintenance issues, all of which families should discuss during a tour.
The facility consists of 40 private apartments equipped with individual safety-focused bathrooms and 24-hour emergency call systems. All-inclusive monthly services cover three dietitian-approved meals daily, weekly housekeeping, and personal laundry.
Shared community spaces include common lounges and landscaped grounds that utilize the facility’s Brunswick location. Residents can enjoy a social calendar featuring daily exercise, creative workshops, and community-connected events. Scheduled transportation is provided for local medical appointments and shopping trips within the Cumberland County area.
Seniors seeking a private apartment setting with high occupancy and a localized care model may find this environment appropriate. Families evaluating Coastal Shores, Inc. should ask directly about corrective actions taken following the October 2024 deficiencies, particularly regarding medication administration protocols, storage practices, and maintenance items, and confirm current availability before making a placement decision.
