Piper Shores

Nestled along the scenic southern Maine coast, Piper Shores at 15 Piper Road in Scarborough offers skilled nursing care in one of New England's most beloved seaside communities. As a nonprofit corporation, Piper Shores operates with a mission-driven commitment to residents' wellbeing rather than profit margins—a distinction families often find reassuring when choosing long-term care. Scarborough is an exceptional place for seniors. The town borders the Atlantic Ocean and is home to Scarborough Beach State Park and the expansive Scarborough Marsh, the largest salt marsh in Maine and a haven for birdwatching and quiet reflection. Residents and visiting families can enjoy Pine Point Beach just minutes away, or take a short drive to the charming village of Prouts Neck, where Winslow Homer once painted the rugged Maine coast. Healthcare access is outstanding. Maine Medical Center, the state's largest hospital and a Level I Trauma Center, is located approximately 10 miles north in Portland. Mercy Hospital, also in Portland, provides additional specialized care options, and Southern Maine Health Care in Biddeford offers yet another regional resource. Families can feel confident that emergency and specialist services are close at hand. For shopping and everyday conveniences, the Maine Mall in South Portland is just a short drive away, along with The Shops at Clarks Pond and a variety of dining options throughout the South Portland–Scarborough corridor. Portland's vibrant Old Port district, with its restaurants, waterfront, and cultural amenities, is easily accessible for family visits. As a nonprofit community, Piper Shores channels its resources directly into staffing, programming, and the resident environment. Skilled nursing care here is delivered by dedicated clinical teams focused on rehabilitation, chronic disease management, and dignified day-to-day support. The coastal Maine setting—fresh air, natural beauty, and a welcoming community spirit—makes Piper Shores a place where residents can truly feel at home.
