Thornton Oaks Health & Wellness

Exercise is a pillar of good health and Thornton Oaks residents embrace a wide range of ways to stay fit. Ownership comes with a complimentary membership to Running Start, a fitness program offered through Mid Coast Hospital at Bowdoin College’s Farley Field House. Running Start exercise classes cater to everyone from entry-level beginners to serious runners and the water aerobics program combines class time with lap swimming.

Residents enjoy the fitness-friendly walking trail that borders our community. The trail abuts the Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust trail system and in winter months provides great snowshoeing and cross country skiing opportunities.

Medical Support for Peace of Mind

She can facilitate the search for an appropriate physician or support group and also serves as our patient advocate.
