The 93-year-old is likely to remain at Southern Maine Health Care for a few days for observation, family spokesman Jim McGrath said.
"The former president is awake and alert, and not in any discomfort," Mr McGrath wrote on Twitter on Sunday.
Mr Bush was hospitalised in Texas last month for treatment of an infection that spread to his blood, and stayed there for nearly two weeks.
He was admitted to hospital a day after he attended the funeral of his wife, Barbara, the former first lady who died on 17 April.
The couple had been married for 73 years.
On Saturday, the former president attended an American Legion event in Kennebunkport, Maine to mark the upcoming Memorial Day with military veterans and his former national security adviser Brent Scowcroft, according to a post on Mr Bush's official Twitter feed.
Mr Bush is the father of former Republican president George W. Bush, who served two terms from 2001 to 2009, and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who unsuccessfully sought the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.
