Do not choose this place for your family member. You will regret it. You will notice that there are barely any online reviews for The Landing, and the few that are available are many years old. There is a reason for that, I'm guessing. I believe that the ownership has changed hands recently. The staff seems very inexperienced. Systems that should be in place for this sort of establishment are lacking. There seems to be a lack of communication between the entire support staff running this facility.<br>It is so overwhelming trying to find the right place for your mother or father, especially when it is an unexpected or unplanned immediate need. On the surface The Landing sounds like a good option. It is not. The care is inconsistent, and unreliable at best. At it's worst, it's untrained and woefully understaffed. The staffing is inadequate, in no way do they have the amount of staff on duty everyday to meet the needs of all of the residents. And, for all their boasting about fresh local food, it is untrue. The food is terrible, not fresh, not local, and lacking in variety. Just ask any current resident that you pass by, and they will tell you just how much they dislike their dining experience. There is an abundance of local farms nearby that they could partner with to get fresh local produce and products, but unfortunately they do not. Please do your research before making this very important decision. Do not choose the Landing.

In assisting a dear friend in the transition from living alone, to hospitalization, to rehab, I was fortunate to encounter the staff of The Landing, in particular Briana Wishart. Throughout the process we were kept informed with her very personal approach to a successful and wonderful living solution. The support my friend and I continue to receive is remarkable, and I can’t think of a happier end result to our search. Briana Wishart and the entire staff of The Landing at Cape Elizabeth raise the bar in assisted living to a new level of caring and professionalism!

The Landing at Cape Elizabeth offers both assisted living and memory care in a classically decorated setting that feels stable and welcoming. There’s a sense of conscience in how the community operates—balancing tradition with an openness to all kinds of families. It’s a steady, well-managed option in a quiet coastal location.

I had the pleasure of touring The Landing at Cape Elizabeth today with the Community Relations Director, who warmly welcomed me into their Circle of Support. The community truly impressed me — the grounds are beautifully maintained, the facility feels warm and inviting, and the staff were incredibly caring and attentive. It’s clear that residents are treated with compassion and respect, and I’m excited about the opportunity to support families transitioning into such a thoughtful and welcoming environment.

I can't say enough about how impressed and grateful I am to to the Landing and it's entire staff. My mom has been there since the end of August,2024. The peace of mind for both her and our family has been immeasurable. I am so thankful to everyone of you. I feel my mom is thriving. Happy holidays to all and my heartfelt thanks. Kelly
