The 1st hospice in Maine was Clover Manor in Lewiston/Auburn; 20ish years ago
The other Nursing Homes are in Gorham, Kittery and York.
I hope that we can all meet one of these days soon at a Maine group gathering.

Hello,
We are from Maine, spent the last 30 years in Kennebunk/Kennebunkport, and first bought a Patio Villa last year and decided to move permanently and now have a new house in Pinellas. Still unpacking, but enjoying it very much!

It certainly was interesting. I half expected to take off circle around and end up back on the ground in the same place. There was a lot of head scratching and chatting going on at the time, but in the end, they sent me in the right direction.
As for Manchester, ME, I used that PO often as I was the treasurer of the Cobbosseecontee Yacht Club and the club used a POB there for our mail. It worked out well as my office was in Augusta so I went by on my to and from my home in Winthrop.
