Serving Portland Since 1881

The staff at The Park Danforth was awesome at giving my sister the support and comfort she needed to feel like she belonged. Along with supporting my sister, they also supported me in this transition. I feel like I can be a sister again instead of a caregiver!

I grew up in central Pennsylvania so moving to Maine, with the cold weather, was no big deal to me. I was living in California and wanted to be closer to my daughter and grandchildren. The Park Danforth was ideal. I looked at another community, but it wasn't close to anything. The location here is so convenient! The staff and the whole community is so supportive, open, and friendly. I was invited to join the Cribbage Club and I haven't played in years! If I had to create a senior community myself, I couldn't have done any better than The Park Danforth!

The Park Danforth is a bit of a family tradition for me. My grandfather lived at The Park Danforth when it was located at the intersection of Park and Danforth way back when. More recently, there were three DeCoste brothers all living here with their wives! My husband and I were two of the very first residents in the Arbor Street expansion. I can remember watching it being built and the excitement when we eventually moved in. The fact that The Park Danforth is a non-profit organization and located close to my church was a huge draw for me. As a retired nurse, I have great respect for the staff and their lively spirit despite recent challenges. I would highly suggest anyone considering a move to a senior living community come and visit The Park Danforth!

My husband and I started looking for a senior living apartment when regular home maintenance was becoming more than either of us could handle. It was not an easy decision to leave our home of 38 years. But, since we moved to The Park Danforth, we have never looked back. We love the flexible meal plans and our beautiful apartment. The Park Danforth has a great reputation and now we understand why! I describe The Park Danforth as clean , comfortable and friendly.....but I should mention friendly first. Its like Cheers here....everyone knows your name!
