Overview of The Meadows

The Meadows has been open in Greene, Maine for thirty years now. It’s a single-story assisted living community at 433 US-202. You’ll want a car here. The road is car-dependent (Walk Score 16), so most errands and appointments mean driving, not walking.

What residents get instead is their own space. Rooms are private, with private toilets, and the building is set up to be accessible for people with disabilities. A 24-hour emergency call button is always within reach.

Residents do their own laundry on-site, and there are shared recreational areas for anyone who wants company. Transportation services are available too, along with fitness and recreation options.

The Meadows calls itself family-oriented. That shows up in how the place runs: residents can join group activities, or they can skip them and stay in their own space. Nobody’s pushed either way.

On staffing, the numbers are modest but real. A registered nurse is on hand for about 50 minutes per resident each day. Licensed practical nurses and nurse aides add more hours on top of that.

Add it all up, and The Meadows looks like a smaller alternative to the bigger, more urban assisted living places nearby. Private rooms. Three decades in business. A pace built for residents who want to run their own day.

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 361 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.
