The Registry's current reach, how provider visibility is measured, and what annual participation does — and does not — promise.
The Registry is organized around situations that commonly lead families to research care: a hospital discharge, memory changes, a fall, caregiver strain, hospice questions, or the need for residential support.
Families can browse by situation, category, and Maine region without submitting their contact information to the Registry. They contact care organizations directly. The Registry does not sell family leads, promise inquiries, or claim that every visitor is ready to purchase care.
People coordinating care remotely can use regional pages to identify organizations and confirm service areas directly.
Regional and category pages can help families organize provider research when discharge planning is time-sensitive.
Caregivers can compare categories and identify organizations to contact when additional support may be needed.
Professionals may also use the directory as a regional starting point. The Registry does not represent itself as an approved referral list.
Annual participation is priced at $495 for Standard, $995 for Featured, and $1,995 for Founding Provider. The Registry does not charge referral fees, per-click fees, or per-lead fees.
Provider-level measurement is being introduced to separate phone, email, and website link interactions and to record when a provider card is viewed. These events measure directory engagement, not completed calls, admissions, referrals, or revenue.
Maine's size, rural communities, travel distances, and regional service areas make location especially important when families research care. The Registry organizes information into Southern Maine, Midcoast Maine, Central and Western Maine, Downeast Maine, and Northern Maine.
This structure helps families narrow their research before contacting organizations directly. It also helps participating providers describe the categories and geographic areas they actually serve.
The Registry is one information source, not an exclusive or comprehensive source. Families should also consult providers, medical professionals, state resources, and local aging organizations when making care decisions.
