Overview of Brunswick Retirement Village

Set on Parkview Circle in Brunswick, Maine, Brunswick Retirement Village is an 84-bed independent living community built around simplicity. A car still matters here. The Walk Score sits at 25, “somewhat walkable,” so groceries, appointments, and errands mostly mean driving rather than walking out the front door.

The cost structure is layered but predictable. One-bedroom apartments start at $1,425 a month, two-bedroom units at $1,750, and two-bedroom end units run $1,800. On top of monthly rent, residents pay a $700 entry fee, which is non-refundable, and a $100 move-in deposit that is. Utilities, including water, sewage, and grounds maintenance, are folded into the arrangement, and the building doesn’t allow smoking anywhere on the premises.

One admissions detail sets this community apart from most independent living options: renters who are Seventh-day Adventists receive priority. It’s a specific, structural fact worth knowing early, since it can shape how competitive or how open the waitlist feels depending on a family’s own circumstances.

Brunswick Retirement Village works best for older adults who want a modest, self-sufficient living setup with clear monthly costs and utilities already handled, in a community where daily life still runs on four wheels rather than sidewalks.

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.
