The Manor House features eight spacious rental suites where residents enjoy many of the same amenities as the cottage residents in the village below. Each suite includes a kitchenette, full bath, spacious closets, and a lovely living area. Many have their own unique characteristics, such as bay windows with commanding views of the Penobscot River, private balconies, fireplaces, or built-in storage units.
The Manor House at Avalon provides maintenance free independent living in a congregate setting, with full coordination of services. Included in the monthly rent for all rental suites are breakfast and an evening meal seven days a week; all utilities; cable TV; telephone and internet; weekly housekeeping; rubbish removal; snow removal; scheduled transportation to the shopping malls and downtown Bangor; transportation to and from appointments; free access to a washing machine and dryer; and many other personalized services on an individual need basis. Staff is available to help coordinate additional services as needed.
Above all else, The Manor House operates around a single important core concept: “independence and freedom of choice for all residents.” We are not institutionalized in any way. Residents who choose the Manor House as their home regard it as just that – their home. The common areas are designed to be lived in and used. There are five very spacious and comfortable common rooms, including two dining areas. These rooms may be used for relaxation or for social entertaining. The ratio of residents to common rooms is exceptionally low so that any resident should be able to entertain friends as desired. Guests are always welcomed.
The Manor House is the focal point of the community. All residents – those who rent apartment suites and those who own cottages – enjoy each other’s company for many social occasions. The Manor House is just one more reason why Avalon Village is the natural choice in retirement living!
