About Aroostook Health Center

+
Nestled in the heart of Mars Hill, Maine, Aroostook Health Center provides dedicated skilled nursing care to residents of Aroostook County and the surrounding region. Located at 15 Highland Ave, this facility sits in one of Maine's most distinctive communities — a small, tight-knit town in the rolling hills of northern Maine, just minutes from the Canadian border and the scenic landscapes that define life in "The County." Aroostook Health Center specializes in skilled nursing services, delivering around-the-clock clinical care for residents who require post-acute rehabilitation, long-term nursing support, or medically complex care management. The interdisciplinary care team works closely with residents and families to create individualized care plans that prioritize dignity, comfort, and meaningful daily life. For medical needs beyond the facility, The Aroostook Medical Center (TAMC) in Presque Isle — approximately 15 miles south — serves as the region's primary hospital and referral center, providing peace of mind for families who want to know that advanced care is close at hand. Fort Fairfield and Caribou are also within easy driving distance, offering additional medical offices and specialist services. The Mars Hill area itself offers a welcoming environment for seniors who appreciate the pace of rural northern Maine. Big Rock Mountain Ski Area, located just outside of town, is a beloved local landmark and a gathering point for the community through all four seasons. The surrounding Aroostook County landscape — defined by vast potato fields, birch forests, and the gentle Mars Hill Mountain — offers a peaceful, restorative backdrop for care and recovery. Local dining and shopping in Mars Hill and nearby Presque Isle — including the Aroostook Centre Mall — give families visiting loved ones plenty of convenient options. The community's strong agricultural heritage and neighborly culture create a warm, grounded atmosphere that extends naturally into the care environment at Aroostook Health Center. As a for-profit corporation, Aroostook Health Center operates with a clear focus on operational excellence and quality outcomes, working to deliver consistent, high-standard skilled nursing services to the residents who depend on them every day.
