Our Services
At Excellent Care & Support, we provide non-medical home care and personal care services to individuals and families across the communities of Maine.
Our services are designed to help people live safely, comfortably, and with dignity in their own homes.
We support private-pay clients and are finalizing enrollment to serve individuals through MaineCare and other insurance programs.
1. Personal Care
Personal Care Services are our core service and focus on assisting individuals with activities of daily living (ADLs) in a respectful, person-centered manner. These services are non-medical and are provided in the client’s home or community setting.
Our caregivers support individuals who may be aging, living with a disability, recovering from illness, or needing help to remain independent at home.
Personal Care Services may include:
-
Assistance with bathing, showering, and personal hygiene

Dressing and grooming support

Toileting and incontinence care

Our goal is to support dignity, comfort, and independence while meeting each individual’s unique needs.
Respite Care Services provide temporary relief for family members or primary caregivers while ensuring continuity of care for their loved one.
Caring for someone can be physically and emotionally demanding. Respite care allows caregivers time to rest, attend to personal needs, or manage other responsibilities—without compromising the quality of care.
Respite Care Services may include:
-
Short-term in-home care coverage
-
Scheduled or occasional respite support
-
Assistance with personal care and daily routines
-
Supervision and companionship
-
Flexible hours based on family needs
Respite Care is ideal for:
-
Family caregivers needing a break
-
Caregivers recovering from illness or burnout
-
Families traveling or managing emergencies
-
Long-term caregivers seeking balance
Respite care supports both the care recipient and the caregiver, promoting healthier and more sustainable care arrangements.
