About Sentry Hill At York Harbor
Sentry Hill at York Harbor is an assisted living and independent living community in York, New Hampshire. The facility offers both apartment and cottage-style living with recently renovated spaces and well-maintained grounds.
Family experiences with frontline staff are notably positive. Multiple families describe aides, dining staff, and activities personnel as genuinely caring and engaged with residents. The kitchen appears responsive to dietary preferences and keeps residents adequately fed. Families also consistently praise the admissions team, particularly noting their welcoming and thorough approach to tours and information-sharing. One family observed that "every staff we encountered smiled and was pleasant."
However, families express frustration with communication and follow-up from leadership. Some report unresolved issues persisting over years, concerns about activity programming levels, and, in isolated but serious cases, complaints about transitions in care and daily needs oversight. The gap between positive frontline experiences and administrative responsiveness appears to be a recurring theme in lower-rated reviews.
Sentry Hill holds a 4.1 out of 5 rating across 33 Google reviews, reflecting strong appreciation for staff warmth and cleanliness alongside concerns about management consistency and activity engagement.

The Sweet Mile had a fantastic time serving sweet treats and drinks at the Sentry Hill cookout! It was a wonderful event honoring their residents and local first responders. Everyone was incredibly friendly, and working with Alicia to make this happen was a joy. We highly recommend Sentry Hill and can’t wait to collaborate on more events in the future!

The front line staff (aides, dining room staff and activities staff) are caring, and very, very good to the residents. I would give them 5+ stars. Be aware, the communication and lack of follow up from leadership is unacceptable. Our mother has lived there for 3 years and we've had issues with leadership the entire time. While the place has been renovated recently and looks very nice, what happens behind that facade regarding leadership issues is atrocious. I definitely would not recommend this place to anyone and we are looking to move our mom because of leadership issues.

We had a thoroughly wonderful experience today at the ribbon cutting of the beautiful newly renovated section of Sentry Hill at York Harbor ME. The food was delicious , the drinks divine , and the best part of all was the dedicated ,caring and knowledgeable staff of Sentry Hill. They greeted us at the entrance and were so warm and welcoming that we felt at home. The entertainment was also fantastic , including a trio of musicians playing jazz and the barbershop quartet! The flute and guitar duo were also excellent!<br>Sentry Hill has always had a great reputation and today’s experience left no doubt in our minds that it would be the best of all places to live if we needed assisted living or memory care in our near future. We definitely will have them at the top of the list of any places in Maine!
