LEWISTON — Maine-based Woodlands Senior Living will celebrate the grand opening of Woodlands Memory Care of Lewiston, 45 Mollison Way, Lewiston, with a ribbon cutting scheduled at 10:30 a.m. Friday, Oct. 9.

The facility is the family-owned company’s sixth purpose-built memory care community in Maine.
