Overview of Dionne Commons

Dionne Commons is a 64-bed assisted living facility at 24 Maurice Drive in Brunswick, Maine. The facility offers furnished private and semi-private apartments for residents requiring personal care assistance.

The facility currently maintains a 91% occupancy rate, with 58 of its 64 beds filled. This is higher than the Maine state average of 83.1%. Because the community operates near its licensed capacity, families should inquire early regarding current availability.

The Maine Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Licensing and Certification, has conducted 18 inspections at this facility, which is above the state average of 10. The facility maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. The most recent available inspection report, dated March 22, 2024, cited three deficiencies, matching the Maine average. These findings involved a staff member lacking the required certification, food stored directly on the floor, and various maintenance and housekeeping concerns. No complaint investigations or enforcement actions appear in the records.

The community provides a full activity program for its residents. Because specific amenity counts, staffing levels, payment options, and dining details are not publicly reported in the source data, families should request this information during a tour.

Seniors seeking personal care assistance in a mid-sized residential setting may find this community appropriate. Families evaluating Dionne Commons should ask directly about corrective actions taken following the March 2024 deficiencies, specifically regarding staff certification compliance and food storage practices, before making a placement decision.
