Description

Woodlands Senior Living has volunteer opportunities for those seeking to make a positive impact in the lives of seniors in their area.

Hillside Terraceis a 21-bed assisted living community located in a historic mansion in Hallowell. The environment is closer to a high-end bed-and-breakfast than a typical assisted living community. We are part of Woodlands Senior Living, a Maine-based company known for excellence in senior care since the 1990s. Our mission is to make each day the best day possible for every resident we serve, while helping to bring peace of mind to the people who love them.
