Reviews Orono Commons
October 2024
I have had experiences with many nursing facilities. Orono Commons is the most helpful and considerate of all the places with which I have been involved. They go out of their way for residents. Keep up the good work!
September 2024
My experience was awesome
August 2024
Good Place to be

Great people, 5 stars isn't enough
February 2024
The staff at OC do truly care about the patients and do their very best to aid them in whatever they can. The staff are nice to visitors and incoming nurses from other facilities. The facility is a bit older, but I find it's clean when I visit! The dementia unit is made as homey as possible for each patient.
February 2024
This place is one of the worst nursing homes I've ever experienced! They are so short staffed that the nursing staff is completely burnt out and staff turnover is very high. The food is horrible and residents are often sent the wrong food consistency and diet on their meal trays. There are also many diabetics there and there are seldom snacks (carbs, peanut butter, OJ etc) available on the units in case of a diabetic crises. Some (not all) negligent nurses who aren't assessing residents or doing rounds on their shift. This place definitely needs a revamping and new management/asministration or the state needs to shut it down. Totally unsafe, please don't allow your loved one to be placed here.

My Mother has been in the rehab wing for about a month. The staff has been wonderful, supportive and nurturing during this time. My Mom has made so much progress during elder stay is very happy with the care she has received.
January 2024
My mother was a resident of Orono Coomons for five years. She received excellent care and she was very happy there. The staff is very caring and compassionate! Recently my sister Anira, was sent there after a bad fall for rehabilitation for a broken foot. The quality of care she is receiving is equal to the care my mother received. I give Orono Commons a gold star for care to their patients. Sincerely, Noreen Peters
November 2023
My mother is a resident in memory care. I live 2 hours away, so for a visit it is a 4 hour round trip. I arrived today, to see a big sign they are having a covid outbreak. The website does NOT say anything. So I drove 4 hours and could not visit. The website should be updated with this infas it is bear impossible to get a live human on the phone if you call. I would like to see this change.
October 2023
I'd like to shout out to the staff who are doing everything they can to ensure a safe and pleasant environment for my family member - especially Peyton whom I caught silently celebrating when she saw my family member able to do a small task by herself which she had been struggling with! I noticed and it meant a great deal to me and my family.

It was a relief today to see that my mom is finally settling in and joining people for lunch. I have nothing but admiration for the hard work that these nurses and staff do for all the people there.
July 2023
Thank you for caring for my mother.

I enjoy working at the Orono Commons

My mom has been in there for about a week and the first day my sister and dad went in she had peed all over herself and the bed! She doesn't seem to know her husband or daughter half the time and has gotten worse since she left the hospital. Its only been a week so it may take longer. She also is having rehabilitation twice a day to help with her walking. We will see
March 2023
So lucky to have my auntie in Orono Commons care. Dee is so happy all the time and feels included with all activities. Thank you to the team there for their loving care.
March 2023
It's a very nice, comfortable place of Business. It's under staffed which is sad. Do to people who don't want to work. Thank you very much to the people who are working there. Doing an amazing job.
March 2023
My family member is a person who at times can take a defeated attitude toward life and challenges in general. In Orono Commons my family member did very well and exceeded the goals of his health plan. The reason he met his goals is because of the over arching attitude of Orono Commons which is clearly to be positive and responsive to all their patients and guests. I saw this in action from every member of the staff consistently. The support and attitude from each person shines through and I appreciate all of them. Their caring shows in their actions.
February 2023
I'm glad I got welcomed in a very warm welcome the boss was really great I hope I have a job!
January 2023
My mother has been in memory care at Orono commons since 2018. I have nothing but positive things to say about the facility and it's wonderful employees. The facility itself is very attractive, clean and cheerful. The staff is TOP NOTCH. Incredibly kind and loving nurses, aides and recreational staff have made every visit to my mom a pleasant one. I think nursing homes can have a very negative stigma, but Orono Commons does not deserve it. I feel so lucky to have my mother cared for in this excellent facility.

You folks have a loving and professional staff. My Mom is in a large Florida nursing home that is good, but you set the bar higher. Thanks so much for the way you and hospice treated Ethel Tuck
October 2022
Due to multiple surgeries and rehabs my dad has been in and out of this facility a few times over the past few months. We're liked the people and services so much that we're chosen it as his dementia care LTC. I'm relieved to have a facility and staff who can cover all my dads many needs. Thanks for all you do for our family's peace of mind.
September 2022
The best experience I had is the overall caring and understanding of the staff of the residents. I came into rehab in rough shape and am coming out a 10. I recommend people coming into this rehab, it's the people that make the services good. They have a genuine caring and understanding of the patients they serve.
September 2022
You are the best, taking very good care of my sister. She and her family are lucky to have you.
August 2022
I have had a wonderful experience with the whole team at Orono commons they have treated me really well, we have had a lot of laughter which is good for the soul, they knew sometimes what I needed before I knew what I needed.
January 2022
The staff has gone above and beyond during this pandemic to keep my mom safe. They have kept us family members updated at all times. We have been able to see Mom as often as we want even if we can't visit because of the pandemic we are able to zoom, facetime and whatever it takes for us to see her. Mom is clean and happy. They are always doing activities with the residents, having celebrations and goodies to keep her busy. The family is very happy with Orono Commons!!!
November 2021
I had a very positive experience with Orono Commons. My uncle spent a few weeks in rehab after his Cardiac surgery. I was a little apprehensive at first, not a real fan of nursing homes. But, I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised and it all had to do with the staff!!! From the moment I walked in the door every single person working there was so kind, so helpful, and, took very good care of my uncle!! I would like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone at Orono Commons!

Staff is highly skilled staff. I think the nurses are exceptional and the doctor they got here eliminated a lot of pain from my diagnosis. They keep the place nice and the Interior is always kept clean. The food is good, my only suggestion would be keeping it consistent. I wish I could stay here longer. I will surely miss my time at orono commons.
March 2021
My mom has been a resident at Orono for 6 years. The care there goes above and beyond what I could have ever asked for. The staff become family and they truly care about the well being of their residents! So thankful to have Orono for her long term home!
March 2021
My Dad was in the dementia unit and my mom moved into the Residence Care facility and both loved the care and concern that the staff showed to both of them. After my Dad passed, I thought my Mom wouldnt want to stay, but she was like, they cook for me, clean and do all the work. I dont have to worry about buying and fixing food! She loves the staff and during this pandemic they have taken such good care of the residents and kept us informed every step of the way. I am forever grateful to the CNAs, the Nurses, the Activities Staff, the Dr and the Administrators for all they have done for my parents and in the continued care of my Mom.
March 2021
My grandmother was a resident after knee replacement surgery. Her review I recieved EXCELLENT care. The food was great. The staff was friendly and attentive. They treated me like royalty. I had a lot of fun with the therapist. I made a lot of friends. I couldnt have asked for better care! Looking forward to going back when I have my other knee done.
March 2021
My grandmother currently resides at Orono commons and is receiving excellent care. She recently contracted COVID-19 and with the compassionate staff she recovered very quickly. I am impressed with the way they are handing the pandemic. 10 stars for this facility!!!

My Dad is a resident who has been living here for a year and a half. The facility is nice, you will see that if you check it out... but the staff make Orono Commons a home. My Dad is suffering from dementia among other things and lives on the Homestead Wing. It is his home now, not just where he gets meals and a bed. The Staff have kept in touch with Resident Family members, especially through Covid, and helped us survive non-contact orders. Im certain they are working extra time to be there for our loved ones. The little things mean so much; at Christmas time they took this photo and mailed it with a card signed by each of the people who know and care for Billy. I am grateful for Orono Commons and all the wonderful people who work there.

I cant begin to thank the staff enough for the wonderful care given to my wifes mom (Judy) recently while a patient at the Commons. I will never forget the kindness of the delivery of coffee, juices and fruit by the young lady from the food service. The many offers to help us from other support staff and the compassion and professionalism of the CNAs, LPNs and RNs. Thank you all again.
February 2020
Orono Commons is a wonderful place for quality, loving care for your loved ones. They are very responsive to family needs and have the best interest of their residents at all times. I highly recommend Orono Commons for rehab, assisted living and long term care!
June 2019
I came here from eastern Maine hospital. Was in a 4 day Coma and when I arrived here only had done 2 very wobbly steps . So after the PT and OP work got a stronger a little everyday . Now doo everything alone by myself in my room . My breathing a coughing are some better and now sleep better .the day crew are so wonderful .. Sweet people and do there jobs. However night crew I have a very hard time .. I would push call button because at that time needed help to go potty . It would be 45 min. Or more . Then ask for water and they would say be right back and never be back at all . I needed to have water all times because of choking problems Kitchen is really great most of the time but am Diabetic and find to many carbs .. But I just try to leave them But for the most part ( not all ) the food is very good ...

My brother has suffered from multiple sclerosis for over a decade, and last year when I became his primary caregiver, I moved him to the east coast. Since then, he's had two hospital stays followed by two rounds of rehab at Orono Commons. The benefits we've derived from our time there have far surpassed my expectations. The staff has not only provided excellent care for my brother, but helped me to develop my skills as his caregiver. The success of the new home-care situation I've established here is in large part attributable to how generous the people who work at Orono Commons have been with their experience and expertise. I know that as my brother's MS progresses, the time will come when I am no longer able to provide all the care he'll need. I also know that Orono Commons will be there for us at that point. Having that destination is the context in which I am now able to focus on sharing this next piece of time with my brother. The care provided at Orono Commons goes well beyond the basics. We are welcomed as guests at least once a week at one of the musical performances hosted regularly there. The collective skill set offered by the staff makes this facility a vital community resource, and the generosity of spirit we've found there makes it more than just the sum of its parts.

The Orono Commons team is amazing in their work for the Alzheimer's Association. They also are wonderful to work with when discussing new admissions and how to transition new residents to their community. Such a friendly group of staff!
October 2018
My Dad has been here for several weeks now due to being unable to move much of his body due to brain cancer. The staff is friendly and competent. The facility is clean. I noticed an unpleasant odor on the first floor of one of the attached buildings, but that kind of thing is probably unavoidable on their part. The rooms are small. They have air conditioning. There is WiFi. They play bingo frequently. They have a physical therapy department from which my Dad has benefited enormously. The food looks unappealing but it tastes better than it looks. The portions are small, so patients may want to bring in outside food if possible. Once my Dad's roommate complained that the staff were taking ages to respond to his call bell. For that, I deduct one star. Otherwise, this seems to be a pretty good place. Note: There is a potentially unsafe/dangerous situation at Orono Commons. Because patients use the nurse call bells for ridiculous things like demanding a special type of food, the staff at Orono Commons will take ages (maybe 30 minutes or so) to respond to the call bells. This means that if a patient has a genuine medical emergency, there may be no way to get the staff's attention.
August 2018
I received really good care. The staff was really good, very helpful and very understanding. I'm thankful to everyone there I would look forward to going to the Orono co mmons again. Thanks to everyone Deanna Parkes

My Mother went from Assisted Living eventually into Full Nursing care at Orono Commons over the past several months so we got to see the entire facility and all of the staff. We were extremely impressed with how efficiently the system worked, but most importantly we were extremely impressed with the care and attention offered by all of the staff at Orono Commons. The staff always treated her with respect and caring. The staff make this facility what it is - as much of a home and family as one could expect in a time of stress and emotion. Paul and Lyn
