Once the site of a motel, and then a nursing home, The Meadows Living Center for Seniors on Route 202 in Greene has to be one of the best housing options for the elderly in central Maine. With everything housed on a single level and handicapped accessible, The Meadows is uniquely constructed to offer an intimate, personal setting that makes each resident a name and not just a number.

With only 24 rooms at The Meadows, residents feel like they are living with one big family where they get personalized attention. Unlike larger senior housing centers where there are many residents, folks who live at

The Meadows enjoy the comfort and caring from staff who know their needs, problems and favorite things.

“The Meadows provides retired residents with safety, security, and, no doubt, some of the best home cooking available,” said Rebecca (Becky) Laliberte, who has food service experience and the ability to whip up fresh, home-style cooking. “And, while residents enjoy the privacy of their own rooms, they can also gather in the library/pool room, the outside patio, or the spacious dining room for activities or socializing.”

A visit to the center might find residents playing a card game, finishing a jigsaw puzzle, reading a book, or sipping coffee with friends. And while smoking is not allowed in the private rooms or common areas, The Meadows is one of the few facilities that allow smoking on the patio year-round.

Room rates at The Meadows are affordable for many seniors with rates starting at $800 a month that includes the room, three daily home cooked meals, housekeeping and linen services, and many transportation and personalized services. Laliberte lives on site at The Meadows and assistance for residents is available 24 hours a day.

“You don’t have to worry about who you know, what you did for a living, or what your background is when you consider living here,” said Laliberte. “At The Meadows, you are instantly family.”
