Alecia Pineo

From her early years growing up in Chesterville Maine, Alecia Pineo knew that serving others was what she was born to do.  Taking care of her Great Grandmother (who lived to 105) in her Grandparents home was the beginning of a journey that ultimately ended in her bringing Visiting Angels to Bangor, ME. After high school, Alecia proudly served her country in the United States Air Force.  Alecia supported the Airmen in the very critical, but often overlooked, field of Accounting and Finance.  Little did she know how valuable her skills would be when she would eventually decide to open her own business.  After the Air Force, Alecia tapped into her desire to serve others once again.  She pursued her dream of becoming a Registered Nurse.  Through positions at various hospitals, and as a Public Health Nurse with the State of Maine, Alecia mastered her craft and was able to help many, many people—whether through treatment or education.    

Alecia learned over the years that seniors hold a very special place in her heart.  When she heard a Visiting Angels advertisement on the radio, she knew it was an answer to prayer.  She opened a Visiting Angels franchise in Bangor, Maine in June of 2016. Providing premier quality in-home care for her community is a true honor and privilege for her.  Helping seniors age more gracefully and maintain the dignity they have earned is something she truly cherishes.  

Alecia lives in Hampden with her husband Toby. She has four children, a daughter in law and two grandchildren. Her faith in Jesus and her love of her family are her two passions outside of her work. To God be all the glory.
