Care resources organized for families in Presque Isle, Caribou, Houlton, Fort Kent, Millinocket, and surrounding communities across Aroostook and Piscataquis counties — Maine's most rural and geographically expansive region.
Northern Maine encompasses Aroostook County — the largest county east of the Mississippi — and much of Piscataquis County. The region's geography means that provider availability, service areas, and wait times differ significantly from southern and coastal Maine. Families here often navigate longer distances to access care, and some specialized services may require providers traveling from Bangor or beyond.
Northern Maine has a high proportion of older residents and a strong agricultural and Franco-American heritage across many communities. In-home care agencies, hospice providers, and residential facilities in this region are typically smaller, community-based organizations familiar with the realities of rural caregiving — including road conditions, travel time, and limited staffing pools.
If you are arranging care urgently, contact multiple providers simultaneously. Availability can be limited, and providers serving this region may have intake waitlists. Maine's Assessing Services Agency (833-525-5784) can help determine eligibility for state-supported services through MaineCare.
