Dirigo Pines, I am a widow and was living in a very comfortable large home and decided I needed a change so here I am. I made the change, it was a hard decision but I am content and there is much going on. We have a delightful Chef that knows how to present a delicious menu, no more cooking for me!! I have my 2 cats with me and they both enjoy the peaceful life. So make an appointment and check things out. ~Alba

Special "thank you" goes out to Dirigo Pines for serving a fabulous Thanksgiving Dinner to many residents and family members. Chef Lewis and his wonderful hard-working staff did a outstanding job in serving the residents in the main dinning room and other dinning rooms on each floor. The staff harmoniously had the dinning room under their control. Our family is blessed to be part of Dirigo Pines, and thank Management and staff for all your kindness and support...
