One of the nicest things is the atmosphere here and the people... it's a very friendly and social community. Everyone, from the residents to the staff, is very warm and welcoming and go out of their way to be pleasant and helpful. Our location is a big plus too, with the proximity to Portland being a great advantage. Lloyd and I especially enjoy the University of Southern Maine and the classes offered there through OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute). I love bridge and play not only here at OceanView but have found several duplicate bridge groups only minutes from here in Portland and South Portland.

Lloyd and I enjoy cruising and have found some interesting comparisons to our new life at OV... the many wonderful programs, trips, classes etc. that are organized here on campus (more than one could ask for) and the delicious food served in the Main Dining Room where we eat from time to time. I wish we had moved here sooner to enjoy all that OceanView and the beautiful surrounding area has to offer. However, we're making the most of it now that we're here!

Intelligent, interesting, pleasant, the residents and staff here have helped me regain much of my enthusiasm and zest for life in my first year here after the loss of my wife.

Not only have I met many new people from all over the country, but I have reconnected with old friends that I have known over the years in Portland while I worked in television, producing the Dave Astor Show.

It is so easy to be active and involved living here, much more so than I was able to be living alone in my condo. Now, not only do I have friends to dine with every evening and wonderful programs to enjoy each day in my spare time, but I have a life full of meaning again, not just an existence. I could not be happier to have found OceanView.

The safe haven it provides. No matter what the situation is, there are many hands available to meet your needs. It is wonderful to live in such a beautiful setting, with many new friends, in a place that really cares about you.

The great depth and breadth of its activities program. There is always something interesting to look forward to.

The companionship of other residents. A feeling that everyone wants to be part of one happy family.

when we would have to leave our beloved home of more than fifty years. We hoped we could find a more convenient one where we would be able to continue our lifestyle in the greater Portland/Falmouth area.

Fortunately, we found OceanView at Falmouth, where the staff, the wonderful programs and our OceanView friends and neighbors have made the transition to our new home a wonderful and comfortable one. We couldn't have asked for a more ideal situation, right in our own back yard!
