THE AROOSTOOK HEALTH CENTER “The kind, frail folks we care for here at AHC deserve a ‘home-like feel,’ the feeling of comfort. ” – Kelly Lundeen, AHC Director Fund-A-Bed campaign seeks to improve quality of life. The Aroostook Health Center (AHC) is a non-profit nursing home in Mars Hill. For many elderly people from throughout the County, AHC becomes home during the last days, months and years of their lives. The staff seek to do all they can to ensure residents are safe, well-cared for and comfortable. New beds are needed to help with this mission, as the current beds are reaching the end of their usable lifespan. Beds are also much more high-tech than they used to be with features that can improve the lives of residents. Good sleep is so important to a person’s overall well-being, particularly for older people. Please make a donation to the Fund-A-Bed campaign and help us make nights, and therefore days, better for our community’s elders.
