Durgin Pines

"Durgin Pines truly feels like a home away from home, the compassionate staff insures that my grandmother receives personalized care and attention she deserves. The environment is clean and inviting with a lot of activities that cater to their interest. It’s reassuring to know that my grandmother is such caring and loving hands. I highly recommend this facility."

"I has been two years since we moved my grandmother into Durgin Pines and we have only have positive things to say about her experience there. The nurses and other faculty members are such a pleasure to work with and there are a litany of activities for her to occupy her time."

"Terrible liars running this facility! They hide things from the families of the residents. They took residents to Olive Garden. Becca, the driver, slammed on the bteaks of the bus they were in, sending 2 residents flying out of their wheelchairs! They never called an ambulance and made the man that landed on the floor of the bus ride back on the floor!!! I happen to know someone that knows this Becca from the rec. dept. First Becca lied and said it didn't happen. Then she admitted it did happen. Then she told my friend "How would her daughter know (meaning me)? She hasn't been in to see her mother (meaning my mother) for months!" Another lie!!!! The social worker also lied about the incident and told me they had issues with the bus!! I am furious!!! Do NOT bring your elderly family here. They will lie and downplay or deny anything that happens involving your relative."

"We couldn't be happier with the care my mother has received so far during her rehab. The staff, from the administrators to the care givers, are truly amazing! They are all super friendly, patient, and welcoming to my mother and our family. They take the time to update us on her progress without prompting. They are passionate about the care they provide, and it shows!"

"In my experience Durgin Pines is a first rate assisted living facility and nursing home. I have visited many facilities in Maine and New Hampshire and find Durgin Pines definitely among the best - if not THE best. With the open, generous layout of the rooms, the beautiful landscaping around the buildings In a quiet setting close to restaurants and stores,the inclusion of a daycare center for preschoolers Durgin Pines design and location is first rate. The staff is very friendly ,helpful and trying hard to bring some degree of happiness into the otherwise difficult and often painful lives of the residents. Nobody chooses to leave their home and move into a nursing home the foodf is quite good most of the time, activities, including visits with the children from the daycare center bring a lot of joy to the patients."
