Elm Street House
Assisted Living & Memory Care · Augusta, ME

Overview of Elm Street House

Elm Street House is a small memory care and assisted living community at 14 Elm St in Augusta, Maine. With just 8 beds spread across a two-story building, it’s a notably intimate setting. All rooms are private.

That smaller footprint tends to mean something specific for families: fewer residents per staff member, and a quieter day-to-day rhythm than you’d find in a 100-bed facility. It’s a different kind of environment, one where daily life is easier to keep track of.

The surrounding neighborhood scores 64 on Walk Score, putting it in the moderately walkable range. Visiting family can handle some errands on foot, with a mix of shops and services nearby.

Residents can bring their pets, which matters more than it might sound. For many older adults, especially those adjusting to a new home, keeping a familiar animal close can soften the transition. Elm Street House also provides transportation services and fitness and recreation options.
