Yes, I would expect health care to be good in Poshport, which we down east referred to as North Massachussets. Also relatively close to Boston. But up in the county or down east would not be good choices for retirement. I can't tell you how many couples I met who had built their dream home for retirement down east, then were in the market trying to sell for years later. My advice to anyone contemplating retirement in Maine is to rent first for a few years to get the sense of the climate and other factors before building or buying.
