Thornton Oaks Testimonials
Pat Brown
After a work life in magazines that included The New Yorker as well as being present at the creation of Bon Appétit, my husband and I searched for a new experience in retirement and focused on Maine—very different from our much-loved Manhattan, a place we had come to treasure through happy visits with our friends. A world away from Manhattan, setting out to find somewhere with an authentic sense of place, we found a happy new opportunity for that at Thornton Oaks. It’s a very vibrant community and a great opportunity to feel right at home.

Sarah Faith and Moriah
Before retirement, I (Moriah) was an administrator at Harvard University, and Sarah Faith worked in the library of the School of Theology and Ministry at Boston College. We had longed to live close to the ocean in later life, and Thornton Oaks satisfied that wish with expansive Popham Beach only 40 minutes away. We chose Thornton Oaks because we frequently visited a friend who resided here for ten years and were impressed by the facilities and the community life. We continue to be grateful for our choice. There is nowhere else we would rather grow old!
