About Seaside Nursing And Retirement Home

+
Seaside Nursing And Retirement Home is a skilled nursing facility situated along the peaceful stretch of Baxter Boulevard in Portland, Maine — one of the city's most walkable and naturally beautiful corridors. The community sits directly adjacent to Back Cove, where the beloved Back Cove Trail offers a scenic 3.5-mile loop that families and staff alike enjoy. The surrounding Deering neighborhood provides a calm, residential setting while keeping residents well-connected to everything Portland has to offer. As a skilled nursing community, Seaside provides comprehensive post-acute and long-term care services, including 24-hour nursing supervision, physical and occupational therapy, wound care, and medication management. The care team is trained to support residents recovering from surgery, managing chronic conditions, or requiring ongoing skilled medical attention in a dignified, home-like environment. Managed by First Atlantic Healthcare, a Maine-based organization with decades of experience operating skilled nursing facilities across the state, Seaside benefits from local leadership that understands the unique needs of Maine's senior population. First Atlantic Healthcare's commitment to person-centered care means residents receive individualized attention and families can expect consistent communication with clinical staff. The facility's location on Baxter Boulevard puts residents within easy reach of Maine Medical Center, the state's largest hospital located just over two miles away on Bramhall Street — a critical advantage for residents requiring specialist consultations or hospital-to-rehab transitions. Northern Light Mercy Hospital on State Street is another nearby option for family peace of mind. Beyond healthcare access, families visiting Seaside will find the neighborhood rich with amenities. Deering Oaks Park, one of Portland's most cherished green spaces, is minutes away. Hannaford Supermarket on Baxter Boulevard makes grocery runs convenient, and the vibrant restaurants and shops of Woodfords Corner and Forest Avenue are close by. Portland's Old Port district, the Eastern Promenade, and the city's thriving arts scene are all accessible for family outings or therapeutic excursions. For families seeking skilled nursing care with the warmth of a genuine Maine community behind it, Seaside Nursing And Retirement Home offers an exceptional combination of clinical expertise and neighborhood character.
