Maine Workers with Disabilities: Distribution of residents with disabilities by age group is nearly identical in Maine and the nation, in spite of Maine's older population. More than half of those with a disability are of working age (18 to 64 years).
Adult Day & Community Support Services: Adult Day and Community Support Services are designed to provide care and companionship for older adults and/or adults with disabilities who need assistance or supervision during the day.
