Nursing Care and Services in Caribou, Maine

When someone needs ongoing support, the most important thing a care facility can offer is consistency. At Caribou Healthcare Center, long-term residents receive around-the-clock nursing care built around their own routines, preferences, and relationships, from a steady, long-tenured staff.

When a hospital stay ends, the work of recovery is just beginning. Our skilled rehabilitation program is built around one goal: helping residents return home as safely and completely as possible. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy all happen in-house. Private rooms are available for skilled nursing patients. Every resident receives an individual evaluation, and the therapy team works alongside nursing staff and each resident's physician to build a plan around their diagnosis, goals, and timeline.

For residents living with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, Caribou has a secure memory care unit with its own activities director, who works on the unit full time. Activities follow the seasons and what residents enjoy right now. A secure outdoor area with planters lets residents get fresh air safely. And when a family member is having a hard day, our staff are there for them too.
