Overview of Serenity Place Residential Care

Sixteen beds, sixteen years.; those two numbers tell you Serenity Place Residential Care in Lewiston is small by design, and it’s been running that way long enough to have real staying power. The community sits at 1917 17th Avenue, administered by Cook Joy.

With only 16 residents at capacity, staff-to-resident interaction tends to run closer than at a larger facility, and the care model reflects that: assistance with daily living tasks, medication oversight, and monthly registered nurse supervision, backed by around-the-clock support. Walk Score lands at 64, moderately walkable, enough that some errands are realistically doable on foot, with a decent mix of amenities nearby.

Daily life runs on a few concrete pillars: transportation services, personal care support, a wellness program, and home-cooked meals rather than something more institutional. Activities fill out the calendar, and staff come background-checked and trained in first aid and CPR. Regulatory attention here has spanned several routine categories: medication management, fire-safety systems, emergency preparedness, documentation, dietary service, and general housekeeping, the standard spread inspectors look at across residential care broadly.

Serenity Place Residential Care is a small, well-established setting built around close staff contact and daily practical support, in a Lewiston neighborhood where getting around on foot is genuinely feasible for at least some of the day-to-day.
