The 10 Best Home Care Agencies for Seniors in Kittery, ME for 2025

"A company here in Portsmouth is taking care of my husband. It's called the Extended Family. They have women come out to help me during the day. It seems to be working out fine so far. It was recommended to me by a nursing emergency care place when my husband got out of the hospital. They have caretakers that come part of the day, the whole day, and every day in the week. They have several choices of caregivers. I signed up with them to take care of my husband. So far, it has been good. We had a little bump here and there, but it's turning out OK. They provide physical therapy, occupational therapy, and day-to-day maintenance. He is in a hospital bed in the living room and they're making sure he is clean and taken care of. They do just about everything. It helps me because then I can get out shopping and I can do the things I need to do. They started out all day and all night, but I think we're going to lower down to part of the day and maybe not even at night anymore. It depends on the care he needs, and as he gets better, they adjust to my schedule and what he needs. They're very caring and very conscientious. They keep a log of everything they've done. They're working out fine. I appreciate their help. They're very congenial. They care about me, too. They help me out so I can get out and go to the store. They do housekeeping if I want them to. They offer to do dishes and vacuum also. It's pretty good all the way around. The scheduling is done every week. They send me a schedule of who is going to be here and what time. I would recommend them."

"I am the daughter of a current client of Atlantic Homelife. I would like to personally thank everyone at Atlantic, the caregivers and the nurses are just amazing! I am able to reach a staff member 24/7 which puts my mother and I at ease. I have personalty seen how these caregiver treat and care for my mother and I couldn't be happier. They are like part of our family. The caregivers are constantly in communication with their nurses and myself and together we come up with a custom plan of care for my mother. The nurses take care of my mothers medication and contact her doctors directly. It takes me out of the day to day issues and I couldn't be happier. The scheduler Sharon is such a positive soul and will work with us when whenever we need an extra shift. Thanks to Atlantic I am able to let my mother stay in her home. I will continue to use this service and highly recommend it to any one in the seacoast area. "

"We were able to hook up with Cornerstone VNA to get a day person that could come and help with my parent's breakfast and lunch. They help in getting my parents up, making coffee, and giving them breakfast and lunch. My mother has dementia, so they're able to play a puzzle or do something. They watch a show with my mom so my dad can rest. My dad is 92, and my mother is 90, so they really need quiet most of the day, and we're able to get that with Cornerstone. They are providing some paid people that we're paying per hour, and it's working out well. The girl we have coming is very bubbly and very giving. She said she thinks that this is her calling to help older people. She wasn't able to come Wednesdays and Fridays, but Cornerstone has been really good about changing the schedule around, and now, we're going to have her from Monday through Friday. We also have Easterseals, and they're providing a girl that helps with housekeeping. So now, we're pretty much covered through the day. That's what we were looking for without having to take the step of going into the nursing home. We're very pleased."

"We chose Aging Excellence Kennebunk because they were very close to my mother's home and we had a good experience in the past. They provide my mom with assistance in everything we need. We've been using them for a couple of years now. We've been using the same caregiver for a long time, then my mom went to rehab, and now she's starting with a new caregiver, but it has been great."

"I chose them after speaking to the owner. He called me back right away and we spoke on the phone. He was actually the only person that called me back after I had reached out to them. Their care we're phenomenal. They were amazing. The owner was very invested and helped me through the entire process that I was going through. I was getting an elderly woman out of a nursing home and putting her back into her home, which was the reason why I needed his service which was a 24 hour care service. He helped me through the entire thing when I didn’t know what I was doing. Their attention to detail in individual support was amazing. The caregivers that we had were amazing. There were several of them, because it was 24 hours so they took shifts. They were kind and compassionate and just amazing people; really kind, loving skilled, everything all combined. They were everything that you would want. It was 24-hour care so it was everything, bathing, toileting, dressing, companion, cooking, and cleaning. Our family friend was comfortable with the caregivers. She loved them and they had an excellent relationship. They had a passion for taking care of the elderly, which I think was something special. "

"Two things impressed me the most about Arcadia's Springvale office: their willingness to pitch in when we had caretaker emergencies and their training. A few times the office help came in for emergency needs when I needed to help my elderly mother. I also later became a certified PSS thanks to Arcadia training and qualified for the Maine program to get paid to take care of my own mother. Instead of costing our family, it paid off to work with Arcadia! "
