Our Mission

Many older adults in Northern Aroostook County struggle to access the medical and social services they need. Isolation, lack of transportation, complex paperwork, and declining vision or hearing often make it difficult to get the help they deserve.

​

Our Navigators are here to change that.

​

We take the time to visit, listen, and understand each person’s needs. We help coordinate care, attend appointments, explain medical instructions, and complete forms for essential benefits. Most importantly, we walk with them through every step — making sure no one has to navigate these challenges alone.

Our Vision

We envision a community where every older adult in Northern Aroostook County can easily access the medical, social, and community support needed to live healthy, connected, and fulfilling lives. No one should face confusing systems or barriers to care alone.

​

Our vision includes a strong network of Navigators who bridge the gap between older adults and essential services. By listening, guiding, and accompanying people through each step, we provide support that is both personal and empowering.

​

Ultimately, we strive to make aging in place safe, possible, and joyful — a community where language, isolation, mobility challenges, or paperwork no longer stand in the way of wellbeing.
