Overview of Aging Excellence

Aging Excellence operates as a home care agency in Bangor, Maine, providing assistance to seniors in their own residences. Founded by Bethany Lawrence, a former Regional Clinical Director and Administrator at a Medicare-certified home health organization; the agency delivers care from hourly visits to round-the-clock presence. The agency accepts Medicare but holds no Medicaid or CMS certification and operates under private-pay arrangements outside federal programs.

The service menu spans operational and personal domains: 24-hour personal care assistance, aging life care management that coordinates professional evaluations of health and living environment, social companionship, household and yard work, specialty and memory care protocols, multi-generational family engagement, emergency response systems, telephone check-ins, and transportation. Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants provide direct care.

Operating hours (Monday–Friday 9 a.m.–5 p.m., Saturday–Sunday 9 a.m.–2 p.m.) define office availability; actual in-home care extends beyond these windows when contracted for overnight or 24-hour service.

The agency has secured sponsorships from the Maine Senior Games and TD Bank 10K Road Race, indicating community involvement.

As a non-facility home care agency, Aging Excellence offers seniors an alternative to residential settings while depending entirely on private payment and family-directed arrangements, with no regulatory oversight or public quality metrics.
