About Us

In October 2006, Maine’s Office of Elder Services (OES) was awarded a three year competitive grant from the Administration on Aging (AoA) to build upon current efforts to advance evidence-based prevention and wellness programs in Maine. 

The programs include Living Well – Chronic Disease Self- Management; Matter of Balance/Volunteer Lay Leader (MOB/VLL); EnhanceFitness and EnhanceWellness.

In collaboration with MaineHealth’s Partnership for Healthy Aging, the area agencies on aging, and other community partners, the OES will implement and disseminate these four evidence-based programs statewide at senior centers, nutrition programs, senior housing projects and faith-based organizations. Priority will be given to expand program access to rural areas and selected underserved areas.
