Resources for Residents

We hope the following resources will prove helpful to our residents. 

Senior Resources

The Town of Falmouth has established a Senior Resource Hotline managed by the Falmouth Parks and Community Programs Office. Seniors, caregivers, and family members of seniors may call 207-699-5302 Monday-Thursday 8am-5pm and Friday 8am-Noon for assistance with the following non-medical needs:*

  • Food and Critical Supply Needs (prescription drugs, toilet paper, etc.)
  • Food Emergencies and General Assistance
  • Falmouth Community Programs We Miss You TOO! Program (phone call check-ins from FCP staff)
  • Falmouth Police Department Reassurance Program
  • Delivery Service Options from Local Businesses (restaurants and pharmacies)
  • Personal Assistance with Town Services (license renewals, vehicle registrations, permits, etc.)
  • Sign Up for Mailing Lists (for senior-related information distributed electronically and via mail)

*Descriptions and details of all these programs can be found on our Senior Resource Fact Sheet.

On weekends and evenings, seniors with immediate needs may contact Falmouth Police Department dispatch at their non-emergency number: 207-781-2300.  As always, in the case of a health emergency dial 9-1-1. 

General Assistance

The Town of Falmouth administers a General Assistance (GA) program to provide immediate help to eligible people who do not have enough money for basic needs, such as rent/mortgage, food, heating fuel, medications, non-elective medical care, and other items that are essential to maintain themselves or their families. In order to receive GA, people must follow program rules and meet the eligibility requirements. For more information on this program and how to apply, see our General Assistance Fact Sheet.

Business Resources

The Town of Falmouth is very aware of the disruption that COVID-19 has caused our local businesses. We want to help where we can. We invite business owners to reach out to Town staff with questions, concerns, and ideas on how we can assist you. Please contact: Theo Holtwijk, Director of Long Range Planning and Economic Development, 207-699-5340, tholtwijk@falmouthme.org. In the meantime, we have compiled a Business Resource Fact Sheet which includes a list of resources including information to help your business recover from losses as well as best practices to protect the safety of your customers and the health of your employees.  

Residents with Disabilities

The following resources may prove useful to residents with disabilities.
