Overview
At Avita Memory Care, we understand the challenges families face when someone they love is living with memory loss. The name Avita, meaning “for life,” reflects our commitment to creating a safe, engaging, and fulfilling environment where compassionate caregivers recognize each resident as a unique individual with their own life story, preferences, and needs.
Memory changes may affect daily life, but they do not diminish a person’s spirit. Our philosophy is centered on honoring who each resident is, both past and present, while creating opportunities for meaningful connection, comfort, and joy each day. Through personalized care, thoughtfully designed programming, and a warm, supportive setting, we help residents live with dignity and purpose while providing families with peace of mind.
Located in the coastal community of Wells, Avita proudly serves families throughout southern Maine and the Seacoast region of New Hampshire. Known for its miles of sandy beaches, salt marshes, and classic New England charm, Wells offers a peaceful setting just minutes from nearby coastal destinations like Ogunquit and Kennebunkport. Residents and visiting families can enjoy the natural beauty of Wells Reserve at Laudholm, explore the shops and restaurants along the coast, or simply take in the quiet charm of this beloved seaside town.
At Avita, our goal is simple. We strive to make a positive difference in people’s lives by creating a place where residents can thrive and families can feel confident their loved ones are receiving compassionate, attentive care.

Avita of Wells was a very good place for my mom. She lived at home as long as she could, but we had to move her to care facility. She was not happy the first couple of weeks, but the staff really helped keep her occupied, it helped that she made a very good friend and the two were together all the time. The place is clean; the rooms are full of light and very comfortable. The staff is wonderful and really care for the residents. There are secured courtyards so residents can sit outside in the Summer. They cared for her right up to the end.

We have been so pleased with the care my aunt has received at Avita of Wells and feel very comfortable recommending this place to anyone with a loved one with memory care needs. I can’t say enough good things about the staff, food and the cleanliness. From the executive director, all the way to the people providing daily care, everyone has been caring, friendly, knowledgeable and responsive. We toured many different facilities throughout Maine and Avita not only exceeded our expectations but was surprisingly the more affordable option. We are so thankful to have such top notch care so close to home!

I would definitely recommend Avita of Wells for a family member. My mom was a resident for four and a half years. The activities are wonderful and community involvement is important to them. The staff at Avita was always caring, helpful and kind to my mother and she adored them all. My calls were always answered warmly and Avita felt like family to us.

The entire staff at Avita of Wells not only provided great comfort to my mom, who resided there for over three years, but to her family near and far with tremendous compassion and diligent communication. I never announced my visits in advance. Mom was always clean, comfortable, and safe. She was able to maintain her dignity throughout her battle with Alzheimer’s disease thanks to the great care she received. I highly recommend Avita of Wells if your loved one is in need of full-time residential care.
