How we help South Portland families.
Zion Care brings consistent, personal home care to South Portland seniors. Whether your parent needs a few hours of support each week or daily care across the full range of personal and companion services, we build the plan around their actual routine, not a template. The same caregiver returns visit after visit, building the familiarity and trust that makes in-home care genuinely effective.
For families managing a recent hospital discharge, Zion Home Recovery™ puts a trained caregiver in place within 48 hours, working directly from the discharge instructions and staying in regular contact with your family throughout recovery.
And for parents living with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, our caregivers are trained for that reality across the whole team. You do not need to ask for a specialist. Call (207) 370-5217 and we will walk you through how we work.
Care that knows the neighborhood.
Our office is right here on Main St, so the families we serve are our neighbors. South Portland sits directly across the Fore River from Maine Medical Center, the flagship hospital of the MaineHealth system, with Northern Light Mercy Hospital and Southern Maine Health Care also within easy reach. When a loved one is discharged from any of these hospitals, Zion Home Recovery™ can place a trained caregiver in the home within 48 hours, working directly from the discharge plan.
We care for seniors throughout South Portland, from Knightville and Ferry Village to Willard Square and the neighborhoods near Southern Maine Community College and Mill Creek. Knowing the city means our caregivers arrive on time, understand the route to a follow-up appointment, and can be there quickly when plans change.

Why South Portland families choose Zion Care.
The same caregiver, every visit.
We assign and keep. Consistency matters for seniors, especially those with memory concerns, and we treat it as a non-negotiable commitment, not a preference.
Care plans written for your parent.
No templates. We meet your family, learn the routine, and build the plan from what we find. The schedule and the services reflect your parent's actual life, not a standard package.
A local team that picks up the phone.
When you call, a real person who knows your family answers, someone who takes personal accountability for the care we provide. That is what being a small, locally owned Maine team makes possible.
