Why Maine?

Maine’s way of life is almost like a peaceful journey to the communities of yesterday. In Maine, our towns have a sense of community and a taste of nostalgia.

Maine has an abundance of relatively low-cost real estate.

It is also known for its beautiful coastline, forests, lakes, ponds, rivers, streams, hills, and mountains. Yes, we are also known for lobsters and all kinds of fresh seafood, blueberries, and lots of farm-fresh produce. Very clean air and water too and yet, Senior Power is Maine’s greatest natural resource. We benefit from Senior Power, in so many ways.

  • Maine has the highest volunteer rate in the country.
  • Maine is considered a very generous state in regard to its philanthropy in spite of the fact that it is in the lower 25 of the states based on wealth.
  • Maine has a very high value in its health care assets and services relative to its population and income.
  • Maine supports an inordinate number of non-profits and arts/music and cultural amenities because of its senior population.
