About Us

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.

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.

Our 18-bed skilled rehabilitation unit, provides state-of-the-art nursing care and physical, occupational, speech, respiratory and IV therapies. We can help you regain your strength and independence after a hospital stay, so you will be comfortable and safe when you go home.

Call us at (207) 594-6800 with any questions you may have.
