Elm Street Assisted Living

07/29/2023

I would like to address some ongoing posts and comments from Topsham residents I've recently read.

1. My (Sallie) other business, Alternative Correctional Healthcare, is in no way in conjunction with Elm Street Assisted Living. ACH provides medical and mental health care to currently incarcerated individuals. These are two separate business entities providing separate services with separate staff and clients.

2. As a human being with empathy and a drive to care for vulnerable and under served populations, I believe as individuals age and are unable to care for themselves, they all deserve a chance to have a home, feel like a part of their community and be around caring people for their last years on earth. I believe in forgiveness and compassion.

3. I do not turn away residents with a need for placement who have addiction issues, mental health issues or a history of criminal records. No one who lives in our facility is a danger to anyone else and everyone there qualifies for assisted living level services.

4. The residents we have are kind, elderly and just wish to live out the remainder of their lives cared for. We are a business who provides long term care services and we do not discriminate. I don't believe anyone ever really wants to have to go to an assisted living but it's unfortunately a choice many need to make.

It is unfortunate more individuals do not feel the way I do. We are in not only a housing crisis here in Maine but our elderly population is also suffering with inability to find placement in nursing facilities. I do hope the residents of Topsham, our neighbors and others, can find a way to be more inclusive and caring. There is currently so much hate and unfortunately, these same people are the reason we don't have enough rehabs or homeless shelters or other places for our vulnerable community members to recieve assistance. Quite frankly- I am sick of the "help these people, but not in my neighborhood" attitude.

If anyone has questions or concerns, please reach out to me.

Since February of 2022 Elm Street has unfortunately been the victim of harassment by an ex employee. This employee has made negative comments on both the Elm Street page and personal pages of the owners. We wanted to ensure everyone that all negative comments are based on a disgruntled ex employee. We have local law enforcement involved and we will continue to work with them until this ends. If anyone has concerns they are more than welcome to reach out directly. We continue to have a great staff of dependable, caring individuals and an amazing group of residents.

We are a little late to the party, but in early 2021, Elm Street Assisted Living came under new ownership. We are all very excited to introduce Sallie Albert and Ryan Albert to our happy home!

Sallie and Ryan are a local married couple with 4 children. Sallie grew up right here in Topsham. She is a family nurse practitioner with extensive experience in hospice and public health nursing.

We continue to accept Mainecare and have added space for two additional residents.

In September Aurea became house manager for Elm Street. Many of our residents and family know her well, as she has been with Elm Street for 13 years.

If you or your loved one is in need of assisted living services, please reach out to us via Facebook or give us a call at 207-725-1134.
