FARMINGDALE, Maine (AP) Nearly 600 patients are at risk of losing their in-home care when a Maine nonprofit closes in April.

The Kennebec Journal reported Monday that Home Care for Maine, a Farmingdale-based nonprofit that provides in-home care to elderly people in the state, will be closing on April 30.

The nonprofit’s attorney Newell Augur told the Journal that the nonprofit has been hurt by low reimbursement rates for MaineCare.

Augur called the company’s closure a “crisis” for its patients, who come from each of the state’s 16 counties.

He said it might be difficult to find agencies to take on those clients, especially in more rural areas of the state.
