In 2000, there were only three organizations providing caregiver services in the Greater Portland area. In 2010, there are over a dozen, HomePartners being one of them. When it comes to finding the right caregiver service for your loved one, it is important to look for a knowledgeable, experienced staff, and the personalized attention your loved one needs.
