It's been a year of change for Mainers as we adapt to the new way of doing things, and that's especially true now as we look for ways to safely feel that personal connection with our loved ones that makes the holidays so special.

It's a very different kind of holiday season this year, and could be an especially lonely one for retirees whose families are staying away out of concern for their safety. I caught up, recently, with my friends at Dirigo Pines in Orono, and learned how their staff is handling the holiday season to make sure every resident feels "at home."

Have you thought about looking into Dirigo Pines for yourself, a family member, or a friend? Many of their innovations this holiday season can also help answer questions for prospective new residents who are interested in the currently available apartments and cottages. The staff is working hard to keep everyone safe while making sure current or new residents enjoy all the perks of living in the Dirigo Pines community!

I've heard that Dirigo Pines always does a wonderful job of decorating over the holidays and, with these safety measures in place, residents and family will be able to fully enjoy the beauty of the season together! If you or someone you know is thinking about a new living opportunity at Dirigo Pines, call Kate Hills at 207-866-3400, and be sure to check out one of their new construction units below:

Who knows....maybe you'll make Dirigo Pines your home for the holidays!
