Ladies and Gents, I just received the best news I've had in years 

[My wife's] A1C is now at 6.6 which is a MAJOR improvement since her arrival at the Trails in March of 2021. I owe a big thank you to the entire staff at the Trails for this accomplishment. I believe every part of her life at the Trails played a role in this improvement, the facility, the food, and the staff's attention to detail. I consider this a victory, which frankly I didn’t think would ever happen. Our thanks to all.

Freedom to enjoy this stage of his life

I've experienced many different caregiving situations with my parents over the past twenty years spanning a variety of nursing homes and in-home caregiving agencies. At 95 my father's needs are complex, but not life threatening. He is medically frail, yet mentally sharp. The staff at Ebenezer/Trails of Orono understand what it is to be an elder. They manage the day-to-day caregiving with a level of grace, ease and expertise that has allowed Grandpa Ray the freedom to enjoy this stage in his life, develop new friendships and build on his interests in a way that hadn't been available to him for some time.

The beautiful building and grounds, as well as the competent and friendly staff, make his life more pleasant. State-of-the-art electronic supervision help him feel more independent. Having the doctor, nurse practitioner and other medical services visit him on site has been a relief as I no longer have to take him out when the weather is less than perfect. Over the six months that he has been a resident at Trails of Orono, I've developed confidence and trust in the staff. I've needed to go on with my life knowing he's doing well.

Thanks for all you do...

...and all the staff at Trails; they are fabulous and make it so easy to come in. I would heartily agree with the family member who stated that you feel like you come in and you're wrapped in such loving arms.

What I love most...

...about the Trails of Orono is the staff. They are so warm and friendly. So pleasant to deal with - my kids thought so too. The food has been very good. Lots of homemade soups, desserts, breads. And all the favorites I used to cook, only now I have somebody else to do the cooking!

To the wonderful people...

at Trails - from the family of Mel. I don't know what to say but "THANK YOU!" The care and compassion you showed my dad the last month was amazing! He really enjoyed each of you. Every one of you made his last days on this earth so nice! You really showed love in so many ways. I have worked in many care facilities but never have seen this kind of care - you guys are truly the best and you should be very proud of yourselves!
Thank you again for all you did for him.

Thank you, thank you, thank you

to you and all the wonderful staff at Trails. I say thanks for all you did to make Mel's last days good and comfortable. He received great care. It isn't easy to care for those who are dying, but you did it well.
Thanks again,
