A Bangor Home Care Agency You Can Trust

Will the caregiver show up? Will someone notice if something changes? Will I know what's happening when I can't be there? Who do I call if there's a problem?

When someone in our family needed care, we lived with those uncertainties. We built Silver Linings to provide what our family needed then: caregivers who would show up, people we could reach when something went wrong, and someone paying attention when needs changed.

How Starting Home Care Works

Inviting someone into your home to care for you or a loved one is a big decision. That's why we make our process for starting care as transparent as possible, so you know what to expect every step of the way.

  2. A free consultation in the home where care will happen
  3. Time to learn the person, their routines and their family’s situation
  4. A care plan designed for the person and the home where care will take place
  5. A review of the plan by a nurse practitioner before care begins
  6. A caregiver matched on personality and experience, not just availability
