Overview of Seal Cove

Seal Cove is a 90-bed assisted housing and residential care community at 19 General Moore Way in Ellsworth, Maine, in Hancock County. Accepted are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, with a mix of short-term and longer-term stays; roughly two-thirds of new admissions arrive on Medicare for short-term rehabilitation, with private-pay and Medicaid residents accounting for the rest. Ranked first out of 247 Maine homes, Seal Cove operates at full capacity with no current availability at 100 percent occupancy.

The facility is licensed under Maine’s Assisted Housing Program rather than CMS’s skilled nursing framework. State licensing inspections since 2025 show 5 deficiencies per year, 12 percent below the Maine average of 5.7, with no critical findings, fines, and immediate jeopardy. A substantiated complaint in March 2025 involved incomplete medication administration records for two residents; the most recent annual inspection in October 2025 cited a malfunctioning call bell and a pet odor issue, both low severity.

Built for residents needing assisted living, memory care, or post-acute residential care in Ellsworth, Seal Cove serves a predominantly Medicare and Medicaid population in Hancock County.
