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: familiar caregivers backed by a team that takes responsibility for keeping shifts covered, 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.

  • An In-Home Consultation

    We visit the home where care will take place, taking time to understand the person’s needs, daily routines, and preferences.

  • A Personalized Care Plan

    We develop a care plan around what we’ve learned, with review by our nurse practitioner before care begins.

  • Finding the Right Caregiver

    We match caregivers based on experience and personality, not just availability, and work with you to establish a schedule.
