Boyd Place At Phillips

Boyd Place at Phillips is an independent living community in Bangor, Maine, operated by Phillips-Strickland House Corporation, a nonprofit organization established in 1975. The community serves adults ages 65 and older who function independently and wish to maintain an active lifestyle while receiving support with daily living skills.

Boyd Place offers private apartments in downtown Bangor with essential services included in a single monthly payment, eliminating homeowner responsibilities. Certified staff are available around the clock to assist with medications and provide a safe living environment. The community features carefully prepared homemade meals with creative desserts, enjoyable activities, and a strong emphasis on resident engagement and social connection.

The organization also operates Phillips-Strickland House, which provides assisted living services. The two facilities share a legacy dating back to the 1872 establishment of the Home for Aged Women and the 1903 Home for Aged Men, merged in 1976 to serve elderly residents in the Bangor area. Approximately 85% of residents receive Medicaid support.

The community emphasizes treating residents as family and with respect for their individuality. Programs include activities such as bingo, craft projects, themed dress-up events, and puzzle activities. Residents are encouraged to contribute to community life and support one another in their transitions to senior living.
