About Us

Home Care for Maine started its life in 1994 as Home Resources of Maine. Its new modern name was adopted in September 2004 to speak directly to its fundamental service — helping people stay in their homes. For more than 10 years, the agency has been the lead organization in running the state Homemaking Program, funded through the Bureau of Elder and Adult Services. A statewide, not-for-profit home care organization, Home Care for Maine was a spin-off from Senior Spectrum’s personal care services division. The agency currently has close to 490 employees in the field and 24 employees in the home office in Farmingdale. On a monthly basis, we serve nearly 2,500 people in every Maine county.

Throughout its life, Home Care for Maine has been a leader in innovation and provision of exceptional, quality service; Maine’s outstanding model for social services.
