Birchwood at Canco Portland, Maine
I was shown around Birchwood by [name removed]. He was very helpful and informative. The facility looks very nice clean and seems to be a very friendly environment. The rooms were pretty typical for an assisted living. The setting is very nice, all surrounded by trees andin the woods which surprised me as I drove through some fairly industrial areas to get there. You feel like you’re away from the city which I liked. Because it’s in Portland, you are close to hospitals and doctors, etc.. Even though it was a bit further away than I would’ve liked from where I live I think this would be an excellent place for my mom and if I end up moving her to Maine, this will be a place. I will have her consider for sure. The cost is very comparable to what she’s paying at a facility in Florida and the services are pretty comprehensive. I was given an opportunity, ask questions and at the end of the tour I got a delicious bag of homemade cookies! I was definitely impressed!

Pros and cons, but overall pleased
He's a great activities coordinator. They do a lot of daily and monthly activities. Go out for field trips to go out for a luncheon once a month eve band is really good size and it's wheelchair accessible. The building I think itself is lovely. The dining room is really pretty. Unfortunately the food is not well liked by alot of the residence. It's provided by Sysco and I just think it's done for large groups and not a lot of local fresh vegetables or fruit. They have a number of staff who have English as a second language and for my mom who's a little hard of hearing that makes it very difficult for her. There is definitely a language barrier.

Friendly staff and nice community.
She loved it there. She was there for 6 days, got involved in activities (flower decoration), made friends, got the flu, fell and broke her femur and is now in skilled nursing at [community removed] after long, complicated recovery. We all wished she could have returned to Birchwood. It was a warm and friendly community. She felt at home almost immediately. She became active and involved right away.

Bait and Switch Tactics - An Eldercare Fiasco"
The hands-on staff were quite good, friendly, and very sweet to mom. Management, administration and communication was absolutely horrific. I am happy to elaborate more if you need me to. We are no longer there. Again, staff members were so sweet and kind. Mom LOVED THEM! From the get-go, the management and administration were very shady and non-communicative. When we were first looking at the Birchwoods, they did not one but two assessments on Mom. They knew she had dementia. I was very upfront about all of the different behaviors and issues that we were having at home before we moved her in. They gave us a big deal about how they believed in "aging in place", and their goal was to accept people into the facility, who would not have to move again, but could age there and not have to transition again. They also had "memory care" as a service on their website. That conspicuously disappeared off of the website a few months later! The first two nights after we moved Mom in, she was very confused and unsettled with the transition. An aid came into her room in the middle of the night to check on her and Mom became very startled as she woke up to a very large woman who she had never met before standing over her bed. Mom packed her bag and was walking down the hallway saying she had to leave . She never even made it to the lobby before they got her back into her room. I got a call at 3:30 AM that morning from a nurse who was very worked up saying that she was "exit seeking". Something similar happened the next night and I got another phone call, this time at 2 AM in the morning saying that she was asking for me and looking for my dad. Of course, this was a horrible introduction to the facility. I was later told by the admissions Director that he thought that they completely overreacted, and this was pretty normal behavior during the transition. They kept telling me that they would have somebody from management. Call me back to discuss what was going on. They told me this multiple times. I never got a call from anybody in management. The only time they called me was when they perceived something to be going wrong And would not follow up with any sort of phone call or conversation. Needless to say, I was on edge all the time. Additionally, we were never given any contact or email of any person who we should call if we had a problem. I would just call the front desk and try to find out if there was anybody on staff that I could talk to that day. Horrible horrible communication. heir programming was nonexistent. It was very clear after a short time that they were really only interested in people who needed an independent living community. The turnover of staff was very high. Inevitably, a new management company took over a few months ago, and apparently decided that they wanted to focus on independent living and started giving all of the Dementia residence very short notice that they had to move out. There was never even any communication saying that the facility had changed management companies. Again zero communication

Compassionate and safe
Birchwoods is very clean and cheerful. The programming ladies are genuine and do their very best to meet the needs of every resident. The location and atmosphere cannot be beat. Multiple directors have been there long term and truly care about what they are doing Chef takes the time at the beginning of meals to engage with each resident, getting to know their individual needs and preferences. The business office manager will take the time to support in anyway she can. The community resource director truly cares about helping your loved one find the right place for them. There are some fantastic genuine staff and their core team is compassionate and gentle. It is an AL2 so it is not the appropriate placement for anyone who wanders but perfect for those who want to maintain their independence as long as possible. The directors-[name removed], [name removed], [name removed] and [name removed] are the kindest people and you can trust them to address anything. Highly recommend Birchwoods for assisted living!

Transitioning
Short staffed in housekeeping, the food is horrible- nothing is fresh, everything is canned or frozen. A choice might be bologna sandwich and canned oranges. Everyone is very nice, but they can't seem to keep up. There's a new director coming and we've been told that a new chef is coming and that nutritional guidelines will be followed. I don't like to bash them. Everyone is nice, and we are hoping things will get better.

Needs improvements
Overall experience started off good and has deteriorated. Birchwoods management did not have awareness of what the staff was doing OR what they were not doing. Care of vulnerable people suffered and many families moved their loved ones out. Harm came to some residents at the hands of bad workers and uncaring management. One resident who is in a wheelchair was stuck in her room for hours needing help, ringing for help and no one came. They say the management is now on top of it but honestly they have just let go any employee who knows the truth about what it's been like. It used to be friendly but now it is not. Very few staff care to speak to the residents and make them feel seen and cared for except the social workers who do bingo and activities. Also friendly and caring are the two front desk women and one nurse and a couple of med tech women - two of whom have quit due to all of this. The new med tech men are terrible. Food is awful. The noon time meal can be ok but the evening is awful - one night they actually served a nasty looking baked potato and potato chips. Nothing else. Very odd. For activities, they try - they are kind to the residents and try to make them happy. Value for the money - bad, my parents pay [fee removed] a month and the only thing they get is meds given and some average noontime meals. They buy groceries all the time to have decent food. They all deserve better.

Don't be filled by the smell of baked cookies
The communication between the facility and the residents medical team and family lacks. It seems to me the facility would rather talk to the family and go around the resident. The nurse on site doesn't appear to want to learn from visiting nurses how to care for particular medical issues and they do not follow the medication protocols very well.

Wonderful, kind staff but very under staffed at the expense of care. As a result, response time was slow. Especially on the weekends. It was obvious management was skimping on help to save money. I would not recommend for someone who needs a great deal of assistance. It would be ok for someone who needs minimal help.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Maine regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Maine regulations for Assisted Living.
