Four beds is a small number by any measure, and at Fifty Eight Sargent Avenue in Lewiston, Maine, all four are currently full. The Level III licensed residential care facility occupies a single-story building on Sargent Avenue, administered by Brian Vye. It’s not a campus; it’s closer to a household.

That scale shapes everything else about the place. Residents choose between private and semi-private rooms, and with only four people under one roof, the staff-to-resident dynamic looks nothing like a larger facility’s. The neighborhood itself is car-dependent, carrying a Walk Score of 22, so getting around still means driving rather than walking to nearby errands.

Regulatory reviews of the facility have tended to focus on care planning and documentation, a standard area of oversight for facilities like this one rather than a sign of trouble in day-to-day care. It’s the kind of theme regulators check across the board, not something specific to how residents are treated here.

For families weighing a smaller, quieter alternative to a large assisted living campus, Fifty Eight Sargent Avenue offers exactly that: four rooms, one administrator, and a scale of care that’s more household than it is a large institution.

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.

Chase Point Assisted Living in Damariscotta, Maine is a 24-bed assisted living community at 51 Schooner St, 0.18 miles from MaineHealth Lincoln Hospital.

The building is two stories high. Studio units run 350 to 380 square feet, with one-bedrooms sized from 480 to 500. Pets are welcome. Walk Score is 19, so a car or the on-site transportation handles almost everything beyond a short walk.

Martin Drive sits on Martin Drive itself in Lewiston, Maine, a four-bed community in Androscoggin County that offers memory care, assisted living, independent living, and nursing home services under one roof. That combination in a building this small is unusual. Most facilities offering all four care types operate at a much larger scale.

The two-story building sits in a moderately walkable pocket of the city (Walk Score 61), so some errands are doable on foot even if a car still helps for most trips. Rooms come as private or semi-private, and residents have access to transportation services and fitness and recreation options, covering basic mobility and activity needs without requiring family to arrange every outing.

Four beds is a small number by any measure, closer to a household than an institution. That scale can mean tighter staff familiarity with each resident’s habits and needs, though it also means less of the programming variety a larger community might offer. Families drawn to a quiet, low-turnover setting will find that here; those wanting a broader activity calendar or bigger social circle may want to look elsewhere.

The mix of care types under one small roof suggests a place built for continuity, letting a resident’s needs change over time without a move to a new facility.
