Parker Ridge is a 47-bed assisted living and independent living community located at 63 Parker Ridge Lane in Blue Hill, Maine. The community offers independent living apartments, assisted living suites, and retirement cottages.
The facility currently operates at 102% occupancy, with 48 residents in 47 licensed beds. This is significantly higher than the Maine average of 83.1%. Due to this high capacity, families should inquire about current availability and waitlist status before making a placement decision.
The Maine Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Licensing and Certification, has conducted 10 inspections at this facility, matching the state average. The most recent inspection on October 28, 2025, found the facility in substantial compliance with zero deficiencies. However, a prior biennial survey on August 20, 2025, cited repeated deficiencies regarding incomplete Medication Administration Records, specifically missing documentation for PRN medications and unexplained blanks. The facility maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of 0, with no recorded fines or enforcement actions.
The residential model includes apartment-style suites and standalone retirement cottages. Programming consists of group outings, activities, and cultural events. Because staffing ratios, specific amenity counts, and payment options are not publicly reported in the source data, families should request this information during a tour.
Situated in Blue Hill, the facility provides various housing options for seniors seeking independent or assisted living. Families evaluating Parker Ridge should ask directly about corrective steps taken following the August 2025 Medication Administration Record deficiencies and confirm current availability given the high occupancy rate before making a placement decision.
Parker Inn offers 34 residential living apartments with 11 different floor plans, and the retirement cottages range from 1,050 to 1,750 square feet.
