After working in nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities for the majority of her career, Gayle Workman saw a tremendous need for seniors to have experienced guidance and support in adjusting their independent living circumstances. Whether they needed to downsize out of a large home, make their current home more safe, or transition to an assisted living facility, so many seniors did not have family close by or the help they needed. Gayle’s heart and head called out to her to be of service, and she knew she had the motivation and compassion to help seniors and their families figure out what living scenario would be best. Hence, The Maine Move was established – to make senior moves easy!
