Osher Inn At the Cedars
Osher Inn at the Cedars is an assisted living and respite care community in Portland, Maine. Assisted living provides personal support with daily activities while residents live in private apartments, while respite care offers a short term stay when someone’s usual caregiver needs time away. The community may be a good fit for a resident who needs daily support in a private apartment or a family seeking temporary care.
Osher Inn at the Cedars has 30 beds, with studio and one bedroom apartments. A studio offers one private living space; a one bedroom apartment separates the sleeping area from the main living space. The community opened in 1929 and is in the North Deering neighborhood.
A Walk Score of 54 places the area in the somewhat walkable category, so some errands can be completed on foot and a resident who no longer drives may have some opportunities to get out independently. Social, educational and wellness programs provide scheduled activities in those areas, while short term rehabilitation and community based outpatient services support recovery needs and care for people who do not require a residential rehabilitation stay. Staff are present throughout the day and night, and Katharine O’Neill serves as the administrator.
