Overview of Park Residences of Waterville

At 141 W River Rd in Waterville, Maine, Renee Hanscom administers a 38-bed community offering assisted living, independent living, and memory care under one roof. The two-story building has private and semi-private rooms, and it sits in a car-dependent pocket of town (Walk Score 15). Getting around the neighborhood on foot isn’t really the plan here; most errands call for a drive.

Occupancy tells its own story: 36 of the 38 beds are filled, a 95% rate that points to steady local demand. For a community this size, that’s close to full.

Daily life leans on restaurant-style dining and shared living areas built for conversation and company. Outside, there are landscaped grounds and gardens; inside, a library and an in-house salon and barber shop. Housekeeping, an emergency call system, scheduled transportation, and a regular activities calendar fill out the rest, backed by staff around the clock.

Maine’s Department of Health and Human Services, through its Division of Licensing and Certification, inspects the facility periodically. Those inspections have tended to center on medication management and how well care plans are documented.

Park Residences of Waterville suits a family looking for assisted living or memory care in a smaller, established setting, one where transportation is handled for you and a car in the driveway matters more than a walk down the block.
