The History of Our Retirement Community
Our retirement community was founded by a group of philanthropic Portland businessmen. They realized that there were many elderly mariners and craftsmen unable to return to their homes in the area. These businessmen established The Park Danforth, on the corner of Park and Danforth Streets, as a residence for these senior citizens. Creating a warm and friendly environment in a house previously owned by a sea captain named Cutter, these founders provided quality housing and care to these residents. They helped seniors continue enjoying their lives and engaging in productive activities. Our location and facilities may have changed, but our commitment to loving and secure senior living has stayed the same. The Park Danforth provides the highest quality standards in assisted living, independent living, and senior housing to the elders of Portland, ME.
