Country Manor Nursing Home handles both short-term rehabilitation and longer-term nursing care in Coopers Mills, Maine. This 50-bed community operates an on-site clinic, outpatient therapy setups, and a pharmacy to cover routine medical and prescription demands right on campus. Staffing metrics show that certified nursing aides take care of the bulk of daily physical needs at 2 hours and 10 minutes per resident daily, while licensed practical nurses log 55 minutes and registered nurses cover 6 minutes a day.
The immediate local neighborhood has a walkability score of 21 out of 100, showing that the rural area is highly car-dependent. Visitors and families will need a personal vehicle to travel to the facility or run any errands nearby, though the location sits within a 25-mile driving radius of four area hospitals.
For campus life, the culinary department prepares restaurant-style meals, and the team runs an active lifestyle track with eight distinct social calendars alongside a “Kids Country” program to bring families together.
Prospective residents researching regional post-acute recovery or full-time nursing support can contact the administrative offices at Country Manor Nursing Home from Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. to ask about current bed openings, look over insurance rules, or set up a personal weekday tour.
Executive Director Christopher Gardner leads the Maine Veterans’ Homes Central Office in Augusta, which manages a network of senior care sites across the state. This system provides nursing home care, assisted living, memory care, residential support, and short-term respite breaks. The main office coordinates a wide network of properties, meaning daily operations are split between helping veterans recover from brief hospital stays and caring for long-term residents who need permanent nursing help.
The everyday care routines rely on on-site pharmacy services and a mix of physical and clinical therapies. Staff members at each property build separate care plans around individual needs, coordinating daily clinical treatments and memory care routines right in the buildings. Visitors to the central headquarters or any of the properties will find the Augusta area is car-dependent, so family members will need a vehicle to run errands outside the grounds.
Prospective residents can call the central admissions team to find out which local buildings have open rooms or to start the intake process. The business desk handles payment tracking through state financial assistance programs like MaineCare, VA Aid and Attendance benefits for eligible veterans, and standard Medicaid, while the floor staff can walk you through their daily activity schedules and community events.
