Spiritual Rejuvenation
Our seniors in skilled nursing care seek spiritual meaning and purpose through prayer, contemplation and appreciating nature’s beauty. Religious Jewish and Christian services are held regularly in our Chapel.

The Cedars often hosts speakers and poetry readings that uplift and engage our seniors. Easy computer access and friendly training keeps our seniors in assisted living in touch with children and grandchildren online. Cocktail hours, movie nights, barbecues, Fall Festival, May Ball and more all gather good friends for good times.

Salon and Day Spa
The Cedars Salon and Day Spa won the 2009 Innovation of the Year Award by the Aging Services of Maine and New Hampshire.  Relax and rejuvenate with friends and be pampered on a regular basis. Our salon’s services include haircuts; permanents; men’s beard and mustache trim; facials; scalp massage; manicures; pedicures; paraffin dips; and Swedish, Aromatherapy, and Reflexology massage.

The size of The Skilled Care Center and the Neighborhood model of care fosters independence while creating a true sense of family and community. Staff receive as much as they give as they hear the life stories and meet the families of the seniors who call The Skilled Care Center home.
