Overview of Ohi-Three Hudson Street

Six beds; that’s the entire scale of Ohi-Three Hudson Street, and it shapes everything else about the place. Located at 3 Hudson St in Bangor, Maine, this two-story community covers assisted living, memory care, and independent living, all within a setting small enough for staff to actually know every resident by name. A Walk Score of 86 puts the surrounding area in very-walkable range, so errands rarely require a car.

Staff stay on-site around the clock, awake and available rather than just on-call, and transportation services fill in when residents need to go further than walking distance allows. The activities list leans creative and sensory: music therapy, animal therapy, board games, and time spent outdoors all show up in the regular routine. Meals are prepared with residents’ specific dietary needs in mind rather than a single fixed menu.

Pets are welcome here too, a detail that matters more in a small community like this one, where a resident’s dog or cat can become part of the shared rhythm of daily life rather than an exception to a rule.

Maine’s Department of Health and Human Services, through its Division of Licensing and Certification, oversees inspections for long-term care facilities across the state, including this one.

This is a small-scale, pet-friendly community built for residents who want close staff attention, sensory-based activities, and a highly walkable Bangor location, without the scale of a much larger facility.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Maine

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. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Maine?

Assisted living in Maine is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. 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.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 358 assisted living facilities in Maine. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Maine?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Maine, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Maine?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
