Elara Caring

Elara Caring provides in-home skilled care and personal care services in South Portland, Maine and surrounding communities, including York County and the city of Portland. The organization focuses on recovery, rehabilitation, and health education, delivering care in patients' homes rather than institutional settings.

The skilled home health services address chronic illness management for conditions such as heart failure, COPD, and diabetes. Clinical offerings include physical, occupational, and speech therapy to help individuals regain or maintain independence, along with in-person visits for high-risk cardiac, pulmonary, and sepsis patients. Personal care services assist qualified individuals with activities of daily living, home safety, and personal care needs.

Care plans are tailored to each patient's individual needs and health goals. The organization emphasizes that receiving care at home reduces stress and anxiety, often leading to increased satisfaction and overall wellbeing. In-home support allows for education, symptom management, and early intervention before a crisis occurs, potentially reducing the risk of hospitalization.

Elara Caring's philosophy recognizes and treats each person as a whole, providing thoughtful support and guidance for patients and families, including specialized assistance for dementia caregivers and support programs for veterans through their BRAVE initiative.
