Bartlett Woods Retirement Community

Bartlett Woods Retirement Community is an independent living community in Rockland, Maine, offering 1- and 2-bedroom rental apartments. Founded in 1998 and operating as a 501(c)3 charitable organization, the community is designed to provide well-maintained housing with custom-tailored services, abundant support, and reliable safety at reasonable cost.

The community is intentionally small—described as one of the smallest retirement communities in the state—and emphasizes the relationships between residents and staff as central to its character. Residents are greeted with smiles and welcomed into a warm, homelike atmosphere where stimulating conversations and genuine caring relationships built on trust are fostered both among residents and between residents and staff.

Bartlett Woods is committed to allowing residents to remain in their homes even as their needs for assistance change. The community can provide increased support when residents require it, enabling friends and spouses to stay together through varying levels of care needs. The setting is designed as an intimate neighborhood of individuals from all walks of life, where the people who live and work there are what make the community special.
