Registry Information Notice

A structured public reference — nothing more, nothing less

The Maine Senior Care & End-of-Life Registry is an independent, publicly accessible reference resource. It provides organized listings of care providers across Maine — structured by care type and region — so families and care coordinators can identify options without navigating advertising platforms or being subjected to sales contact.

The Registry exists because Maine's rural geography and dispersed provider landscape make it genuinely difficult for families facing care transitions to find organized, pressure-free information. It is operated from Naples, Maine, by a single administrator.

What the Registry does — and does not do

How listings are compiled and maintained

Provider entries are compiled from publicly available licensure records, official provider websites, and direct provider submissions. Listings are reviewed periodically and updated when corrections are received.

Providers are presented in a consistent neutral format — alphabetical order within each category, no star ratings, no rankings, no prominence awarded based on payment. All providers within the same participation level receive identical visual treatment.

Inclusion in the Registry does not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or verification of care quality. Families are responsible for contacting providers directly to confirm current services, availability, staffing, licensing status, and financial requirements before making care decisions.

How to use this Registry effectively

The Registry is most useful as a starting point — a way to identify providers serving your region before making direct contact. It does not replace the conversation you need to have with providers, hospitals, and care coordinators.

• Confirm current availability directly with any provider before making plans
• Ask specifically about your town — service areas vary significantly, especially in rural regions
• Verify insurance acceptance — MaineCare, Medicare, and private insurance acceptance varies by provider
• Ask about intake timing — some providers have waiting periods or require assessment before services begin
• For post-hospital discharge, begin provider outreach before or immediately upon discharge
• For urgent or complex situations, ask your hospital discharge planner or social worker for direct assistance

Corrections and inclusion requests

Licensed care providers serving older adults in Maine may request Registry inclusion or corrections to existing listings. All requests are handled by email. See the For Providers page for details on participation levels and the inclusion process.
