Join a talented team of professionals who are dedicated to enhancing the lives of older adults. Piper Shores is Maine's only nonprofit continuing care retirement community, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing services along a beautiful coastal campus in Scarborough.

Home to approximately 450 residents and supported by more than 275 employees, Piper Shores is large enough to offer the resources and stability of a sophisticated organization, yet small enough to foster meaningful relationships, collaboration, and a strong sense of community.
