Opportunity Overview
The Maine Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Aging and Disability Services, maintains an active Willing & Qualified contracting pathway for long term supports and services delivered in qualifying Assisted Living Facilities. CT NOI 0820260611 extends the current agreements through December 31, 2026.
Service Scope
Maine describes the service as long term supports and services for older adults and adults with disabilities who need assistance in qualifying assisted living facilities. Covered supports are delivered under each consumer’s plan of care and include service coordination, meals, medication administration, assistance with personal care, and chore or homemaking assistance.
Qualification Controls
DHHS states that the participating assisted living facilities were built specifically to provide housing with services to seniors and adults with disabilities, are licensed by the State of Maine, meet the OADS assisted-living program criteria, and use specialized staff to meet licensing requirements. The Department does not intend to issue an RFP for these willing-and-qualified services.
Current Funding and Incumbents

The five named providers are Wardwell Assisted Living Services, The Iris Network, MaineGeneral Rehab & Long Term Care, Penquis Community Action Program Inc., and Plant Memorial Home. These are incumbent contract holders and should not receive introductory outreach merely announcing the exact pathway they already hold.
