Overview of Montello Manor

Richard A. Rousseau Trust B operates Montello Manor Inc., a 37-bed nursing home in Lewiston, Maine, that has provided skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and assisted living services for over 50 years. The facility maintains a steady 81 percent occupancy rate, meaning open beds are limited due to consistent local demand. The surrounding neighborhood has a mix of nearby services that are somewhat reachable on foot, though visitors and residents will still need a vehicle for most trips around the area.

Daily operations rely on a nursing team that logs an average of four hours of direct, hands-on care per resident every day. Registered nurses, practical nurses, and aides split this time to manage clinical treatments, hospital-to-home recovery services, and physical therapy sessions. The trust also runs Montello Commons and Montello Heights nearby, giving families alternative residential options within the same organization if their care needs change.

State health regulators perform regular licensing and safety reviews at this facility to check compliance with nursing home codes.

Older adults looking into care placements can contact the admissions office to check on open room availability or to discuss the intake forms.

Overview of Martin Drive

Martin Drive sits on Martin Drive itself in Lewiston, Maine, a four-bed community in Androscoggin County that offers memory care, assisted living, independent living, and nursing home services under one roof. That combination in a building this small is unusual. Most facilities offering all four care types operate at a much larger scale.

The two-story building sits in a moderately walkable pocket of the city (Walk Score 61), so some errands are doable on foot even if a car still helps for most trips. Rooms come as private or semi-private, and residents have access to transportation services and fitness and recreation options, covering basic mobility and activity needs without requiring family to arrange every outing.

Four beds is a small number by any measure, closer to a household than an institution. That scale can mean tighter staff familiarity with each resident’s habits and needs, though it also means less of the programming variety a larger community might offer. Families drawn to a quiet, low-turnover setting will find that here; those wanting a broader activity calendar or bigger social circle may want to look elsewhere.

The mix of care types under one small roof suggests a place built for continuity, letting a resident’s needs change over time without a move to a new facility.

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Maine?

Assisted living in Maine supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence.

Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Maine Medicaid cover assisted living?

Maine Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Maine) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
