Overview of Highland Green Management

Highland Green Management sits at 7 Evergreen Cir in Topsham, Maine. The community offers three kinds of care under one roof: assisted living, independent living, and memory care. It has been open for 21 years.

Getting around the neighborhood on foot is hard here. The Walk Score is 2 out of 100, which means the area is car-dependent, so residents and family who visit will likely need to drive for errands and outings rather than walk to them.

This is a place built for an active later life. Residents must be 55 or older to move in. Clubs and group activities run on a regular basis, giving people steady chances to socialize and stay busy.

The grounds back that up with real range: a golf course, tennis and pickleball courts, and a bocce court, plus an outdoor pool. There’s also a nature preserve on the property with walking trails, so residents can get outside without leaving the community.

Indoor life has its own gathering points too. A community center and several shared spaces are set up for socializing, and a restaurant and pub on site let residents eat and mingle without going off the property. Taken as a whole, the setup points to a community aimed at retirees who want to stay active and spend time outdoors, more than one built around quiet, low-key routines.

Getting around the neighborhood takes a car. The Walk Score here is 11 out of 100. That’s low. Most errands, like a trip to the store, will need a drive, not a walk. Family members visiting should plan ahead.

Crowe’s offers rides to residents. This helps them get to doctor visits or run errands nearby. There are also fitness and recreation activities on-site. Residents can stay active without leaving the community.

The single floor and private rooms keep things simple. Residents can move around easily. That kind of setup often becomes more important as care needs grow over time.

Overview of The Lamp Alzheimer‘s Residential Care Facility

The Lamp Memory Care Center sits in Lisbon, Maine, offering both assisted living and memory care in a 28-bed community. Rooms are secure and thoughtfully arranged, built around residents who need dedicated memory support alongside everyday help with daily life.

Staff are available around the clock, so residents aren’t waiting for help to show up. Dining runs restaurant-style, and household tasks are handled for residents rather than left to them, which takes a fair amount of the daily grind off their plate. Care plans are built resident by resident, based on what each person actually needs day to day.

Memory care residents get brain games and light exercise worked into the routine, plus social events aimed at keeping both mind and mood engaged. The living spaces lean cozy rather than clinical, with layouts meant to make getting around easy.

Getting to Lisbon itself means bringing a car. The neighborhood scores 19 out of 100 on walkability, so errands and outings nearby call for driving rather than walking, worth knowing for any family planning regular visits or helping a resident get to appointments around town.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does Maine Medicaid cover memory care?

Maine Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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.
