Dirigo Pines offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care in Orono, ME. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living adds help with daily tasks.
Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care offers short stays when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. Because Dirigo Pines offers several care levels, it may be a good fit for a resident whose needs may grow over time, since a move can happen without leaving the community or starting over socially.

Residents can use the fitness center and spa, dine in the restaurant, and spend time in the courtyards and garden. Transportation is available when they need to leave the community.

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.

The neighborhood has a Walk Score of 31 out of 100, meaning it is somewhat walkable. Some nearby services are reachable on foot, but for most errands, you will want a car or the community’s transportation assistance.

Respite stay options exist for families needing short-term coverage, along with a volunteer program for residents seeking consistent connection to the local community.
Seasonal dishes, diverse menu choices, and a skilled culinary team create a restaurant-style dining experience, with a private room available for special occasions.
