My wife and I have lived here at Tyrone House over 20 years and we have seen maintenance men come and go. John is simply the BEST we’ve ever had! He truly cares about EVERYONE in the building. John is a “Jack of all trades” and knows a lot about repairing practically ANYTHING! (And he’s QUICK!)

Dear Ms. Crowley,
Thank you for allowing the Shipmates Senior Center, sponsored by the Town of Bowdoinham’s Advisory Committee on Aging, to hold their monthly planning meetings at Bowdoinham Estates. The community room is an inviting space for all of the people, residents and non-residents of Bowdoinham Estates, to plan activities and events for older residents in the community.
Your generosity to the Shipmates Senior Club is greatly appreciated and helps the Shipmates to provide an increasing number of programs and activities for older residents.
I would also like to thank you for allowing the community kitchen and dining room to be used for monthly meals and Bingo games. Community residents and people living at Bowdoinham Estates look forward to the delicious meals and BINGO games that follow. Thank you for making the space available and for providing a space that is well decorated, warm and welcoming. Without the ability to use the space at Bowdoinham Estates, it is unlikely that the luncheons would have been as successful as they have been over the years.
William S. Post, Town Manager

I would like to take a few minutes to recognize our Property Manager’s hard work, commitment to his job as well as to his tenants, and of Mr. Fruge’s kind, generous heart, and great personality he brings in each and every day he comes into work.

Mr. Fruge´ has done so much that has helped everyone within this complex, going above and beyond his job duties to help anyone that he can. Mr. Fruge´ always comes to work with a smile on his face, is very polite, greets everyone with a smile, even when he may not be feeling his very best- Mr. Fruge´ does a great job at not letting it show.

Mr. Fruge´ looks out for all his tenants by making sure our community is filled with people that take pride in the living environment around them. The residents all enjoy the special programs Mr. Fruge´ brings into our complex. They offer lots of valuable information we may not have known, while also providing much needed skills to learn in order to live a more productive and healthier lifestyle. For example, a couple of these special programs include those offered from the State like our Healthy Living classes or the Cooking Matters classes offered to everyone.

Mr. Fruge´ also makes sure that if there are any problems within our apartments, another resident or something that may pertain to the general up-keep regarding the four seasons, Mr. Fruge´ works very hard at making sure all our needs are met and fixed before he even leaves for the day; sometimes resulting in him not leaving work until late in the evening.

Mr. Fruge´ is an extremely hard working man. Stanford Management made a GREAT decision when they chose him to manage our community. Mr. Fruge´ gets the job done and overall is just the best, kindhearted, friendly and polite person you will ever meet. I am so blessed and honored to not only know Mr. Fruge´, but to have him as our Property Manager.

I am writing to share my gratitude for the singular flexibility and support your property manager; James Barton has shown the Bucksport Senior Citizens Center.  As the tenant adjacent to the Bucksport Square apartments, we are host to several activities, including classes, workshops and meals... Mr. Barton is doing an exemplary job balancing the needs of multiple entities; as Director of Senior Services for the town of Bucksport, I am familiar with the challenges involved in doing so.

I am writing to you today  to express my appreciation for how my mother was treated and and cared for during her recent relocation at Perramond Estates.  Due to reconstruction she was moved from one apartment to another then back to her original apartment after the renovations.

My sisters and I wish to thank the Property Manager and Stanford for authorizing hard flooring rather than carpeting to be installed in her apartment to accommodate our mother's allergies.  We also wish to express appreciation for the transfer shower chair provided and the installation of a raised toilet to accommodate our mother's needs while she waited to return to her accessible apartment.

My sisters and I would like to praise and thank the Property Manager for the many things he did that we considered above and beyond to help our mother while she was living in the temporary apartment.  He was incredibly helpful to our mother , more than I can even begin to express.  We are very grateful to him.

I would also like to take this time to bring to your attention what a great person Eric Fruge is.  I wish to personally thank Eric for his incredibly caring way and how he constantly goes above and beyond to be sure the tenants at Perramond are comfortable and their needs are met.  During the almost 16 months my mother has lived at Perramond Eric has been not only a pleasure to talk to but he has made every effort to be helpful and accommodating.  He has accepted my calls of concern regarding winter walkway conditions and concerns of a tenant smoking in the building with great understanding and he took action when action was needed for these things.

Eric is a true gentleman, an incredibly caring person, a generous soul and probably the very best person there is to manage a property where our elders are living possibly their last days, months or years.  I am and will be forever grateful to Eric for all he has done and does and I expect will do for my mother while she lives at Perramond Estates!

Please pass this letter of praise on to any other Manager at Stanford so all will know what a "gem" Eric Fruge is and how grateful we are to him.

From a Nanty Glo resident "My manager, Danita, and her manager, Cindy are doing a great job; Stanford Management—Keep up the good work!”

Good Morning Tracy,
I wanted to take just a moment to thank you again for your very personal service and professionalism.
It was so refreshing to meet you and work with you. I cannot thank you enough.
As you observed, Maria has many issues right now and your kindness has helped greatly to settle and retire many concerns.
PLEASE keep me advised of the application procedure as it relates to Maria and the wonderful apartment you showed us.
Feel free to text, email or call me anytime and again my warmest thanks to you as a professional and as a caring individual.

Just a few lines to “thank you all” for the beautiful face lift our Estate is getting. The new roof and windows and repairs being done to make our homes comfortable and warm. We all appreciate it very much. Also, many thanks and gratitude to our Property Manager for toughing it out, having to uphold the entire load by himself. We appreciate his hard work and dedication for us all. Thank you for the beautiful job.

My wife and I have lived here at Tyrone House over 20 years and we have seen site managers come and go. Earla is simply the BEST we’ve ever had! She truly cares about EVERYONE in the building. She is somewhat firm, but makes sure no one violates their lease agreement. Safety is a top priority for Earla. When our elevator wasn’t running, she made sure it was fixed as soon as possible. (The elevator is very important to us because my wife uses a wheelchair and we’re on the second floor.) She also reminds us to check our batteries in our smoke detectors.

We wish to show our appreciation for your choice of Eric as our Property Manager. Eric has the utmost compassion for “the elderly” and is always ready to help on demand. With him, there is no waiting and our needs are met in a timely fashion. He is a person we can always trust. On a scale of one to ten, Eric is definitely a ten. We hope to keep Eric with us as our Property Manager for years to come.
