Welcome

The Knox Center for Long Term Care is an 84-bed long-term nursing care and skilled rehabilitation center, located at the site of the former Knox County General Hospital. Since 1975, the Knox Center for Long Term Care has been caring for members of mid-coast families and providing them with a loving home where they receive both the sophisticated technical care they require and the dignity and respect they deserve.

Located in a neighborhood in the heart of Rockland, the Knox Center provides care in an environment that combines human warmth with quality medical care. Specialized care is provided for residents with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of memory loss.

Our staff is committed to enhancing the quality of life for our rehabilitation patients and long-term residents and to supporting their basic rights to be treated with dignity, to have choices and to function at the highest level possible. We recognize that each person is unique and that all care, and the setting in which it is given, should be as special as possible to each person.

We know that caring for an ill or aging parent is a labor of love, but it can be very difficult.

Feelings of guilt or abandonment often lead family members to attempt to bear the burden of a parent's care long past the point when it is safe to do so. In many cases, particularly when dealing with dementia or Alzheimer's disease, it may take a crisis or serious near-miss incident for families to realize that love alone is not enough and they require help in order to provide their parents with the care they deserve.
