The Highlands

A Place Where You Belong

At The Highlands, we want to help you live life to the fullest. Relax with a good book in our library or focus on your health in our fitness center, indoor pool or enjoying the beauty of the outdoors. Create, play, and take up a new hobby in our craft, card, and game rooms and make meaningful connections. Whatever your interests, our amenities and activities will uplift, motivate, and inspire you.

Welcome to the family!

Our 30-year-old, premier retirement community in Midcoastal Maine is an environmental leader, conveniently located just off Route 196 in Topsham, close to Interstate 295.

Our 98-acre campus is blooming with a deep sense of community thanks to the longevity of our team and the diversity of our residents. Experience a true continuum of care at The Highlands with Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Estate Homes, Cooperative Apartment Homes, Town Hall Village, and Short-term/Respite Stays. Whether you want to rent or own, have support or live self-sufficiently, there’s something for everyone at The Highlands.

Engage in movement with two miles of walking trails with a trails map and our robust physical fitness program, featuring two full-time personal trainers and a therapy pool. Driven by a strong environmental sustainability focus, we take composting, recycling, and tool bank efforts and use solar panels throughout the community. We also offer an onsite physician, therapist, and a medical center right on our campus. At Highlands, we work hard to promote diversity and equality—everyone’s welcome here.
