Richard A. Rousseau Trust B operates Montello Manor Inc., a 37-bed nursing home in Lewiston, Maine, that has provided skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and assisted living services for over 50 years. The facility maintains a steady 81 percent occupancy rate, meaning open beds are limited due to consistent local demand. The surrounding neighborhood has a mix of nearby services that are somewhat reachable on foot, though visitors and residents will still need a vehicle for most trips around the area.

Daily operations rely on a nursing team that logs an average of four hours of direct, hands-on care per resident every day. Registered nurses, practical nurses, and aides split this time to manage clinical treatments, hospital-to-home recovery services, and physical therapy sessions. The trust also runs Montello Commons and Montello Heights nearby, giving families alternative residential options within the same organization if their care needs change.

State health regulators perform regular licensing and safety reviews at this facility to check compliance with nursing home codes.

Older adults looking into care placements can contact the admissions office to check on open room availability or to discuss the intake forms.
