What this means for your family

Sedgewood Commons is highly regarded for its compassionate nursing staff and beautiful environment, making it a strong candidate for memory and hospice care. However, families should be aware of potential communication gaps with administration; we recommend establishing a clear point of contact for care updates early on to avoid the discharge or administrative delays noted by some families.

Key Review Excerpts

The staff were absolutely amazing. They hug the residents and joke with them. Soothe them and redirect them , as necessary.

Memory care family member · 2022★★★★★

My father is a current resident at this facility. Prior to coming here he was not doing well in the hospital and people were giving up on him! At Sedgewood with attentive caring staff he has improved quickly!

Long-term resident's family · 2019★★★★★

My husband stayed at Sedgewood Commons in Maine for approximately 11 days of respite care, and our experience on the Hawthorne Unit was exceptional from start to finish.
