About Us

Caring for Those Who Served Us

At Maine Veterans’ Home, we believe it is a privilege and our responsibility to provide care and support for those who honorably served our country, as well as for their families. Created by the Maine Legislature in 1977 to provide long term care services to Maine’s veterans and eligible family members. Maine Veterans' Homes is a nonprofit, independent organization that’s separate from the VA.

We opened our first home in Augusta in 1983. Since then, we have established locations in Caribou, Scarborough, South Paris, Bangor and Machias.

Employee Spotlight

For Judy DiGioia, RN, a day charge nurse at Maine Veterans’ Homes, there’s one thing she loves most about working with the veterans: Their smiles. “That’s something you can’t buy. It’s priceless - more than silver, or gold, or money or any tangible thing that you could hold,” she said.

DiGioia has been at Maine Veterans’ Homes - Machias since it first opened 14 years ago. She says she had been at another local long term care facility, but the MVH benefits and working conditions were too good to pass up.

“They were gracious enough to help pay for furthering my education. I was able to go on and get my RN degree, and they paid for basically the whole thing,” she said.
