What Portland Families Say
Dad's caregiver lives two streets over. When the snow came in January she walked to the house rather than miss his morning visit.
We started with three hours on Tuesdays. A year later it's every weekday, with the same two caregivers, and Mom is still in her own house.
Ellen came out herself for the first visit and wrote down everything, down to how Aunt June likes her tea.
Start With A Home Visit
We'll come to the house, meet everyone and write a care plan with you. There's no charge for the visit.
Home Care Questions

How much does home care cost?
Our rate starts at $35 an hour, with a three-hour minimum. We give you a written quote after the home visit.
Does Medicare pay for home care?
Medicare generally doesn't pay for non-medical home care. MaineCare and some long-term care insurance policies can help, so check with MaineCare or your insurer.
What happens in a snowstorm?
We call the day before a storm to plan the visits. If the roads close, a care manager calls every client to check in.
Can we change the hours later?
Yes. Tell your care manager and we'll change the schedule, usually within a week.
