Scarborough Terrace
Thirty years on Commerce Drive puts Scarborough Terrace in a fairly select category for Maine assisted living. The 77-bed community sits in the Oak Hill section of Scarborough, about 8.4 miles from Portland proper, and is licensed for both assisted living and memory care. The neighborhood is car-dependent (Walk Score 13), but MaineHealth Congenital Heart – Scarborough is about 2 miles out, which is a short distance for a facility without strong walkability. Medicare is accepted here.
Inside, the building is two stories with studio and one-bedroom layouts running from 240 to 440 square feet. Current occupancy is 69%, with 53 of 77 beds filled. Staffing runs around the clock and includes a doctor on staff alongside nursing services and respite care. The full-time employee count is 19.
The common areas have some texture to them. There’s a grand piano and a fireplace, which give the shared spaces a feel that distinguishes them from more institutional settings. Gardens, patios, and walking paths provide outdoor access.
Dining is restaurant-style, with lobster night listed as a featured offering, which reads as a genuine Maine touch rather than boilerplate. The activity lineup includes fitness classes, cocktail socials, music programming, and arts and entertainment. Ms. Terry-Lee Huntley is the Executive Director; David Kingsley serves as Administrator.
For families looking at assisted living or memory care in the Portland area, Scarborough Terrace offers three decades of operating continuity, Medicare coverage, and an environment that leans residential rather than clinical.
