Safe walking, standing, and transfer assistance to reduce fall risk at home.
Meals & nutrition
Meal planning, cooking, and feeding assistance built around dietary needs.
Safety supervision
Consistent presence and monitoring for clients at risk of falls or wandering.
Homemaking
Light housekeeping, laundry, and errands that keep the home livable and safe.
Respite & companionship
Scheduled relief for family caregivers, and real conversation for clients living alone.

Questions
The things people ask first
Is this covered by insurance?
Often, yes. Personal care is covered for clients with an approved authorization. If you're not sure whether a client is eligible, call us and we'll walk through it with you before any paperwork.
What does it cost the family?
For clients with approved coverage, there is no out-of-pocket cost for covered personal care hours. For clients without coverage, we offer private pay at an hourly rate — call for current pricing.
Which towns do you cover?
All of them. We staff cases statewide, from York County to Aroostook. If you have a client anywhere in Maine, send the referral and we'll tell you what we can do.
How are caregivers screened?
Every caregiver completes a background check, Maine Registry verification, and our orientation training before their first shift. Supervisors conduct in-home check-ins and ongoing supervision after care begins.
How fast can care start?
Most cases start within five to seven days of the first call, depending on the location and the hours requested. If we can't staff a case, we'll tell you on the first call rather than leaving it pending.
Can we request the same caregiver every visit?
Yes. We match one primary caregiver to each client and keep that assignment stable. When your regular caregiver is out, we send a backup who has already been briefed on the care plan.
