Our Mission

A Maine where we can all age well.

Aging is part of all our lives. It touches our families, our friendships, and the places we call home. At AgeMaine, we want people to feel heard, have choices, and know where to turn when they need support.

That commitment guides the everyday work and the bigger decisions: how we welcome someone through our doors, listen to a caregiver, and help shape Maine’s future.

Our mission

AgeMaine provides resources, services, and information to empower older adults and their caregivers in Cumberland and York counties to age well in the communities and places they love.

Our vision

A community in which older adults are able to live to their fullest potential.

Our values in practice

Community-Centered
We work with community partners, use resources responsibly, and remain transparent.

Innovation
We listen, learn, and adapt as people’s needs and communities change.

Belonging
We welcome different experiences, challenge ageism, and make room for other voices.

Client-Centered
We work alongside the people we serve, supporting their choices and communities.

Impact-Driven
We strive for excellence and measure the difference our work makes.

Team-Oriented
We help one another, communicate openly, and make time for fun in a safe, respectful workplace.

Looking ahead

Our priorities include:

  • Expanding community hubs.

  • Strengthening social care coordination.

  • Developing new approaches with and for volunteers.

  • Advancing our work with diverse communities.

You're in the right place!
