Our Mission

The Vision of No Place Like Home is to build an age-friendly community that helps older adults thrive in their homes and neighborhoods, while they remain engaged and valued.  The Mission of No Place Like Home is to help older adults live in their own homes as long as they wish.

what we do

We address needs that older adults in our community have identified through our outreach, focus groups, community meetings and consultations.  We currently help older adults with small chores and maintenance at their homes, offer medical equipment from our loan closet for short-term and long-term use, and act as a back-up resource for local rides when the Kennector program is unavailable to assist. Please call (207) 558-2270 or email nplhmaine@gmail.com for assistance.

At no cost, the volunteers at No Place Like Home will:

Assist with small jobs and perform small repairs around your home, such as:

• Change lightbulbs

• Raise and lower storm windows

• Install grab bars

• Check, change batteries or install smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors

• Check and change air conditioning filters

• Move furniture

• Do small weatherizing projects

• Small tasks to improve house safety

• Other tasks as able

Provide rides to non-medical appointments within our community only if the Kennector is unavailable to assist. Local ride examples include:

• Barber shop and hair salon

• Banks

• Grocery store or pick up of Hannaford-To-Go orders

• Library

• Post Office

Provide medical equipment, such as:

• Bed rails

• Canes

• Commodes

• Crutches

• Grab bars

• Rollators

• Shower chairs, stools and transfer benches

• Walkers

• Wheelchairs

In addition to the Kennector, the FISH program through the The Center provides medical rides to those at no cost and membership is not required.  Call (207) 967-8514, or email carol@seniorcenterkennebunk.org to schedule a medical ride.
