Across the country, more and more people are looking for in-home care for seniors, and that’s been the case in Maine as well. In addition to being able to stay comfortable and maintain independence at home for as long as possible, the popularity of in-home care in Maine rose during the COVID-19 pandemic, as one-on-one care proved to be much safer than those staying in long-term care facilities. Rey-ah Home Care staff can provide help with activities of daily living like dressing, bathing, and meal preparation along with verbal medication reminders, companionship, and more.

Allowing your loved one to receive some professional, compassionate care when you need it can benefit everyone involved.
