SUE ARSENAULT
OWNER / GENERAL MANAGER

I have always had a genuine passion for people! I am especially grateful for the wisdom I have gained over the years from the elders in my life. They bring valuable insight and experience that they graciously pass down to the younger generations. To me, it is a privilege and blessing to serve them and their changing needs. I opened Align Home Care (formerly the Home Care Assistance franchise) in 2017 with the mission to set a higher standard of excellence in home care for older adults which they so deserve. I fully embrace the importance of our holistic and balanced approach to care. We ensure that our clients not only have their immediate needs cared for but include quality of life activities to each care shift in the areas of nutrition, physical activity and mental stimulation as well as spiritual wellbeing.

As the owner, I love overseeing my entire operation. We have a reputation of aligning with our clients needs as well as with essential community care partners we advocate, educate and collaborate with when it is necessary in the well being of our clients quality of life and well being. It is important to me to create a genuine culture of CARING and a care TEAM that desires the need to exceed client expectations. Most importantly we believe that communication is vital to our success between the client, family members and ALL care team members of Align Home Care. It is a thrill to see our live safely and comfortably in their favorite place called HOME.

I am a proud alumni of the University of Maine having received my Bachelor of Science degree in Business Marketing. I have lived in Maine all of my life. I have held various jobs over the years in Sales /Marketing / Insurance and Real Estate that prepared and qualified for ownership of this company with a very important mission. I have had the privilege of being a part of a franchise organization for the first part of this journey which has enlightened me to the most up to date information in senior living / issues / resources etc. I enjoy time with my husband, Tony, my young adult son and three young adult step children. I enjoy many activities outdoors with family and friends as well as time with my church family.

I look forward to working with you

Heidi de Kok
Director of Operations & Client Care
Board Certified Case Manager (CCM)

My first exposure to healthcare was at a young age, when my mother worked with people with intellectual disabilities. I liked nothing more than going to work with her and interacting with her clients. I was hooked and decided this was my career path. My degree in Rehabilitations Services from Southern Illinois University led me to various roles including direct care, vocational services, case management, and leadership roles in rehabilitation services and business management. I am originally from Illinois and moved to the great state of Maine in 2020 with my husband. I relocated to Maine after being chosen to lead the Maine and New Hampshire programs as State Director for NeuroRestorative, a company I worked with for over 15 years.

I am honored to be a part of the Align Home Care team in providing high quality services to individuals in need. My true passion is improving the lives of others and empowering employees in their careers. With more than two decades in the field, every day I am inspired by our clients, their families and our compassionate and dedicated staff.

When I am not in the office, my second passion is traveling abroad. Traveling expands my perspective on life, provides new challenges and self-growth. It encourages me to learn new cultures, and allows me to meet people from all over the world. I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list!

MARY JENNINGS
SCHEDULING MANAGER

Joining Align Home Care, as the Scheduling Manager, has been a wonderful opportunity for me. I enjoy working as a team and being around like-minded people in providing exceptional care to those seniors in our community who chose to “age in place”. I sincerely feel a sense of “family” at Align Home Care and as a team, we work well in settling clients and caregivers, alike, into a successful and well put together schedule of care. We all believe in embracing a positive, well-balanced plan and empowering our caregiving team to go above and beyond the standards of in-home care. As a scheduler, my task is to provide caregivers with a schedule of their choice, helping the to create a work / home balance and with a well-matched client where relationships of trust can be developed.

I am a people person and enjoy helping others. My career choices have been mainly in the medical field as well as hospitality. I have worked in Mental health, and with those with addictions as well as in end-of-life care for both the elderly and children.

My family means everything to me. I have two beautiful daughters aged 29 and 11! I also have 5 wonderful grandsons. Time with them brings me such joy and peace.

Thank you for considering Align Home Care as your provider of in home non-medical care.

Laura Lamarr
Employee Care Manager

I was first introduced to home care when my grandmother needed some assistance to help her remain safe and independent in her home. She had a wonderful team of caregivers who provided loving care for her and peace of mind for both me and my family.

In 2012, I started my 10-year journey with a great local home care company. I started out as an Administrative Assistant and grew into managing all aspects of Hiring, recruiting, retaining and training the caregiving staff. Unfortunately, the company closed in 2021 during the Pandemic. Children, elderly, and veterans have always been dear to my heart, and I’ve worked in Administration from Early Childhood-Special Education to Adults with Disabilities. My heart has led me back to home care for older adults.

Having been a family caregiver, I know the emotions and challenges presented to a family, and the importance of having a supportive and cohesive care team with a company you can trust. I’m grateful to join Align Home Care’s Team as the Employee Care Manager and to be a part of a company with a solid high integrity reputation in the community. I am thankful for caregivers and their selfless devotion to caring for older adults. My passion is to empower caregivers and to elevate them for the work they do for our communities. I strive to recruit high-quality caregivers and to equip them with the tools and training necessary to provide exceptional care.

Maine-born and raised, I enjoy going to the lakes, beaches and exploring hiking trails. I find joy in reading, dance and fitness classes, spending time with my husband and our families. I’m also an avid New England Sports fan!

LYNDSEY ARSENAULT
MARKETING INTERN

Growing up I watched both of my parents excel in the business world. I decided to follow in their footsteps and pursue a similar path studying Business in college. However, I have always been intrigued at how companies have a way of drawing consumers into their products and services. Therefore, I decided to double major in Marketing and Business Management.

When I joined the team at Align Home Care, I was intrigued and drawn to their mission of helping our elderly population age in the comfort of their own homes while applying a holistic approach to healthy and happy living. I am a very compassionate and driven person, and I couldn’t help but feel like this was the perfect opportunity to put myself out there.

Today I am fortunate to be part of a dynamic team of managers at Align Home Care, LLC. I started as a Marketing and Social Media Intern in the Spring of 2020. I continue to support the mission and efforts of a great company while I finish my senior year at the University of Maine in Orono. It is a privilege to be part of this world class organization while applying the principles that I have learned in the real world and providing a much needed service to our senior population.
