Getting started with MaineCare-funded home care is simple. We guide you through every step, from eligibility to ongoing support.
The first step is to verify that you or your loved one is enrolled in MaineCare and may qualify for in-home personal care services. We'll help you understand the eligibility requirements and answer any questions.
A qualified care coordinator will visit your home to assess your specific care needs. This assessment determines the type and amount of care services you'll receive, as well as the number of approved hours per week.
One of the most important benefits is the ability to choose who provides your care. You can select a family member, friend, or qualified caregiver you trust. They'll need to complete an application and training.
Once everything is approved, care begins! Your chosen caregiver provides the approved services, and they get paid for their work through the MaineCare program. We handle all the paperwork and coordination.
Our team stays with you throughout your care journey. We provide ongoing support, handle administrative tasks, answer questions, and ensure everything runs smoothly for both patients and caregivers.
