About Us

Spectrum Staffing & Home Care first opened its doors in 2014 under the leadership of Denise Feeney, who recognized a growing need for medical staffing in Maine. 

In 2020, Denise passed the reigns over to Nichole and Ron Lessard, her daughter and son-in-law, in an effort to rebuild and refocus on the growth of the company.

Nichole and Ron's extensive experience in the medical field spans over two decades, which has included working directly with the elderly population of Greater Portland as personal caregivers, in facility administration, and in business growth and retention. They both value the importance of family and share a passion for providing the elderly with the vital, compassionate care that they deserve, and look forward to continuously developing meaningful relationships within the community they serve. You can count on the Lessards to be available, approachable, and a knowledgeable resource in an industry they know can be intimidating to those who are navigating it for the first time.

Another extension of the family is Jessica who is working to help navigate our web based resources, monitoring our social media outlets and creating & uploading documents, as well as, reaching out and connecting with staff, facilities and clients. You'll find more family working in our office. Nichole's brother, Joshua, our Facility and Staffing Manager/inhouse matchmaker, plays an integral role in onboarding caregivers and matching our clients with the healthcare professionals that meet their specific needs. Chances are that if you're a current or future client or team member, you'll become well acquainted with them if you aren't already.

Above all, we know we're nothing without our reliable team of caregivers. We expect the best so you can too. We take pride in that and we know our business depends on it. Our clients and families can always expect that we'll honor our commitment to provide compassionate caregivers that are understanding, respectful, fully qualified and vetted, with extensive experience providing care.  We truly believe that the best caregivers care like family. With that in mind, we carefully select our caregivers through a rigorous screening process, which involves at minimum a comprehensive interview and extensive background check, including review of state and national registries, license and certification checks, criminal history, and diligent personal and professional reference checks. Providing continuing education to our staff, a focused approach on dementia training in particular, sets us apart from other places.
