    I had been helping my mom find a place where she could be part of a community, with safe and clean living conditions, and make some of the day-to-day aspects of life a little easier as she ages. From the very first time I contacted The Park Danforth, the staff were friendly, helpful, responsive, and excellent communicators. My mom was on the waiting list for a HUD-subsidized unit, and Kasey, the admissions coordinator, was nothing short of extraordinary throughout the entire process. During the first visit with my mom, we were immediately struck by the warmth of the place - not just among the staff, but among the residents as well. Seeing a welcome sign on the door with our names for our visit was an indication of the pride in both care and hospitality this community values. From intake, to front desk, to facilities, and to program staff, there's a great deal of care, responsibility, and helpfulness in this community. My sister pronounced at the conclusion of the move-in process, "I want to live here!" The Park Danforth had been recommended to me by both medical professionals and friends as one of the best options for HUD-subsidized 55+ living in the greater Portland area, and our experience has lived up to those recommendations. My mom has now been there for about six weeks and she is enjoying the social life, her accommodations, and the food. The meal plan has been especially helpful in making sure she has easy, accessible meals without having to worry about preparing everything herself. I’m incredibly grateful to Kasey, Jody, Rick, Jess, Karen, and the entire Park Danforth staff for making what could have been a stressful transition feel easy and welcoming, and to the residents who have made such an effort to welcome my mother into the community. As the person that moved my mom, visits her, and coordinates deliveries, I found the staff clear communicators and very helpful (to the 1-star reviewers: of course parking is tight - it's Maine's largest population ce

    The Park Danforth is truly a gem in Portland! This vibrant community excels at creating an atmosphere where residents genuinely feel at home, supported, and valued. The staff consistently go above and beyond, offering compassionate care and attention to every individual's needs. I've personally witnessed how dedicated the team is to enhancing residents' quality of life, always respecting their dignity, privacy, and independence. Beyond the exceptional care, what truly sets The Park Danforth apart is its genuine sense of community. From engaging events and meaningful activities to thoughtful spaces designed for comfort and connection, every detail reflects warmth and purpose. It's heartening to see residents thriving, forming friendships, and enjoying life to the fullest. If you're seeking a place that prioritizes people, dignity, and joyful living, I can't recommend The Park Danforth highly enough!

    A beautiful campus with gardens in the courtyard. Centrally located near everything you'd need in Portland. Wonderful planned activities, field trips, parties and holiday celebrations. They have movies, visiting entertainment, various exercise classes, bingo. Another important aspect is that you are required to check in once a day and if you don't they call you to make sure all is good. AND...Jessica is there if you have questions or concerns!!

    My mother lived in Park Danforth for many years. Her biggest complaint was the food. It even made me nauseous to smell it. My mother was a great contributor to everyone there. She always allowed the staff to use her apartment for showings to potential new residents and she participated in every advertisement they ever asked her to. Now that she is deceased they refuse to return her security deposit including the extra they demanded when she got a parakeet. I would not recommend this facility to anyone.
