Southern Harbor House is an enchanting assisted living community in North Haven, Maine. It is within sublime Knox County which is part of the Pine Tree State.
Southern Harbor House is surrounded by picturesque harbor views, rolling meadows and is situated in close proximity to town, which supports community and resident engagement in social activities occurring at Southern Harbor House and elsewhere in town.
Southern Harbor House is a licensed Level III Residential Care Facility. The capacity is for six residents, with a strong commitment to serve members of the year round community. The staff at Southern Harbor House offer quality care in a friendly, family atmosphere where residents are encouraged to incorporate their interests into the daily program, invite their friends and family into the facility, and continue to thrive as members of the North Haven community.
As a Level III Residential Care Facility, Southern Harbor House provides services that support activities that are instrumental to daily living. These services will provide residents with trained staff who will support individual needs including; bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, and ambulating. Additionally, residents will receive three home-cooked meals daily, snacks, and therapeutic diets as needed; housekeeping and laundry services; medication management; coordination of 3rd party services; assistance with managing personal affairs; transportation to medical and personal appointments and social events; as well as interactive social and recreational activities based on individual and group interests.
Southern Harbor House aims to be accessible for as many community members as possible so that we may provide the necessary support our friends and neighbors are seeking. Currently, Southern Harbor House offers two types of residential programming. The first accommodates individuals who seek ADL support, for a long-term duration. The second program is designed to address the needs of individuals who may require short-term IADL assistance, or respite care with or without ADL assistance.
Southern Harbor House is pleased to offer short term independent living respite stays from one week up to four months based on availability. Respite residents will enjoy independent living services in one of Southern Harbor House’s state-of-the-art handicapped accessible private suites as well as the use of all Southern Harbor House’s sun filled living areas. Private suites may be shared by couples, relatives, or friends when occupancy levels permit.
We seek to create a comfortable, safe and nurturing environment for community elders who would otherwise be displaced from their island homes in the absence of care giving resources. Our philosophy is fundamentally based in the essential qualities of our close-knit community and focuses on person-centered care.
