    Patty and I just wanted to say one more Thank you to all of you and the entire staff at Dirigo Pines for taking such good care of our Mom during her time there. You really do treat your residents like family with endless kindness and compassion. Mom wasn't able to live her final years at home but I am so happy that she ended up finding a new home at Dirigo Pines. I also want to thank you all for making things so easy for us in every way during an otherwise difficult week of cleaning out my mom's room while also preparing for her funeral services. Every request that I had or issue that had to be worked out was met with the enthusiastic support and cooperation that the Dirigo team always delivers. Thank you and God Bless all of you and the entire Dirigo Pines staff. Greg and Patty Simon and family

    My children and I have volunteered at various events at Dirigo Pines throughout the last few years, and they are always so gracious and welcoming. We absolutely love, making cards, sharing hellos and smiles, and watching the faces of the residents light up as we walk through the beautiful facility and chat with them about their life experiences. With Christmas coming up soon, my kids have already asked when we can return to make ornaments with our friends at Dirigo Pines, we cannot wait to return and volunteer again!

    My stepmother has resided at Dirigo Pines for the past four years, beginning in Independent Living and now in the memory care Arbor Unit. Throughout her time there, she has received wonderful, high-quality care that has made her life as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. One of the most important aspects of her care has been the low staff turnover. This consistency has allowed both my stepmother and the staff to genuinely know and trust each other, which has greatly contributed to the quality of care she receives. The compassionate and professional attention she receives brings our family peace of mind, knowing she is being cared for in such a supportive and respectful environment. The social activities provided are appropriate and have brought her much joy. Additionally, medical support is excellent—her primary care provider visits Dirigo Pines weekly, which makes accessing medical care simple and seamless. Based on our experience over the past four years, I would gladly choose and recommend Dirigo Pines again.

    Dirigo Pines offers a community in the best sense of the word. Our experience here is that people in the inn and in the cottages genuinely care for one another. Importantly, the administration supports and encourages the thriving of the community in many ways. Staff members are sensitive to the fact that older people vary considerably in their abilities and show respect for individuals in that range of variation. I find that the physical beauty of the place is joined with the caring attitudes of the residents and the staff form a positive place to live.
