Very impressed with Schooner Estates

The facility and everything about it is very nice about Schooner Estates, however the cost is extreme. It is costing nearly [fee removed]per month.

Schooner Estates Senior Living review

The overall experience is excellent considering the grief and situation of my brother. I'm not there but I get reports that it's very clean and when he urinated in his chair they asked my permission to throw it away. The staff is great. [name removed] reports and discusses, [name removed] the nurse is great, and when I call every Wednesday to talk to my brother they are always great. He doesn't do much now but eat and food is good and plentiful. They have many activities but he just sits now. As I said rapid decline. It's expensive. Best we can do. Sad stuff.

Schooner Estates Senior Living review

What our family likes the most about Schooner Estates is that it has the amenities and comforts he wants, and is reasonable for his resources. I'm only a thirdhand reporter, though

Schooner Estates

There is a big difference between the cost/benefit of the assisted living part of the facility and the memory care part. Biggest diff is quality of food. Also, likely typical for the job, but the turnover rate for both the head nurse and the rest of staff on the floor is very high. This feels different than what we were told. Mom is safe and well cared for, which at the end of the day is what we were looking for.

Senior Independent Living in Maine

I would recommend the facility to others. The staff has been super throughout the process. It is expensive. However, there are very few options in Maine, so you just have to go with what is available and works.

I am extremely happy with Schooner!

I am extremely happy with Schooner! I was very impressed with cleanliness and the employees are so helpful and thoughtful! The front desk gals are GREAT!! Nurse [name removed] and [name removed] are amazing!! The housekeeper is perfect and works hard!! I think the food is outstanding. I would, however, suggest improvement of emergency transport to and from the hospital. And a service to be with the resident while at the emergency room and to make sure they get back home after, for those who do not have family or loved ones close by. But overall - great! I would recommend them to family and friends!

A Caring, Loving Environment

Schooner Estates is the best in the area, especially if you want to be close to your loved one. This has been the best community we have been to. The staff tries hard to meet all the needs of the residents. The communication with the staff is okay, it can be hard due to low staffing and sometimes the administrative staff isn't around in the evenings. There are three meals a day and served in a dining room. My loved one seems to enjoy the food offered. There are also snacks available for the residents.

a pleasant place for retirement

my dad wasn't there that long bc of his health, he was only there physically for 15 days . I didn't dare leave him there because if he had another attack I was afraid we wouldn't be able to get him into a nursing home of our choosing. we had to move fast so that we could make sure he was in the right place for him. the only real drawback with Schooner Estates is that they don't have a skilled nursing unit.

No Fears

This is a top notch professional place, and you can feel that your loved one is comfortable and well taken care of here. The staff are quick to respond to questions or concerns and they are responsive within 24 hours. [name removed] is good with checking in on the family every so often to make sure things are going well. My loved one enjoys the meals. They tend to change the menu so it is not the same thing served everyday. The monthly fee covers linen changes, laundry service, room, all three meals and light housekeeping as well. The community is able to assist my loved one with medication management, and more is offered, if needed. There are a lot of activities including bus tours the residents can participate in.

Schooner Provides a Nice, Safe, Healthy Environment

I think this is a nice community. They have caring staff with a nice environment. The staff are very responsive to questions or concerns about my loved ones. My loved one likes the food overall and my other loved one doesn't care of it. I would say it depends on the taste buds of your loved one if they will like the food or not.

A great place for my father to live when he could no longer be cared for at home due to advanced dementia.

My father moved into the Schooner Memory Care facility in October 2020. The staff were very friendly and informative. The facility had opened in May 2020 during the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown. It was a difficult time due to not being able to visit Dad in person, but the management did everything they could to allow window visits and/or phone visits to help us keep in touch. The programs offered for interactive or exercise activities were fun and gave the residents something to talk about afterwards. My Dad enjoyed the cooking and gained weight after a few months of being there. The Care Manager and the Aides for his neighborhood kept us informed of any health events that happened to him. They truly care about the people that live there. They were responsive to our requests or suggestions for his care to help them learn more about him in order to improve his experience. They maintained a safe and clean environment for all of the residents..

FANTASTIC PLACE! They are super friendly and very very professional. They are very welcoming. I definitely would put this place on the top of the list. I would of placed Mom there but after touring Market Square, the residents seemed more like my mom. The residents at Schooner seemed more independent than she is. I highly recommend Schooner! We could still end up there.

Highly Recommend

Everybody is very friendly and very accommodating. It's a clean, new facility. I really liked how it was structured - you have the different communities for different care levels, which is neat. And then each resident's door is a different color, with siding and a light outside each door, which makes it look and feel like they have their own little house. The whole process was very simple and went very quickly. I've been very impressed with the facility. My loved one has loved the food. It's been worth every penny.

Loving and Caring Staff, Just Like Home

The food is terrific and they have a variety of activities, Exercise groups, bingo, music programs, during maple season took residents out to get fresh maples syrup, Christmas rides, lunches out to the coast of Maine, outdoor picnics, specialty nights, movie nights, two libraries, game room, and other activities to engage any resident. The community assisted in giving off scheduled medicine for my loved one. They even assisted us in letting us borrow a wheelchair for an event my mom was attending. The housekeeping would come in and play with my mom's cat, when they would come in to clean. The cat loved it. The community knows all the residents names, and makes you feel like home.

A great place for mom

We chose Schooner Estates Senior Living because it was the best value for our money and it was highly recommended. They offer all facilities if the situation changes, right now she is in independent living and the apartments are nice size. The chef really tries and they have to meet a lot of individual tastes with the food so I would give them a good score on food. The best part about the community so far has been the social aspect of it for her and they are very accommodating with family members.
