Augusta-area assisted living facility announces closure
The Maine Department of Health and Human Services Division of Licensing and Certification tells Maine’s Total Coverage that it was notified by Capitol City Manor on Thursday morning that it planned to close.
The facility on State Street in Augusta is a 29-bed residential care facility run by DLTC Healthcare and Bella Point. As of Thursday morning, 17 people were living there.
The state did not provide a reason for the voluntary closure. Maine’s Total Coverage has reached out to Capitol City Manor for more information.
