Living Innovations Grows Through Acquisition of Momentum in Maine

Andy Taranko, Living Innovations Director of Operations for Maine, announced October 3 that Momentum will become part of Living Innovations on November 1. Living Innovations is the largest provider of shared living services in Maine, and the acquisition adds new coverage areas to its reach. 

“We are excited to have Momentum joining Living Innovations,” Taranko said. “Momentum is a trusted organization that has innovative programs like Nature Trek and a strong reputation for quality. It is a natural fit for the high quality services Living Innovations provides across Maine.” 

Dennis Strout, Momentum founder, said the decision for Momentum to become part of Living Innovations was driven by his desire to ensure the services provided continue long into the future. 

“The Momentum workforce has helped people achieve incredible things,” he said. “But Living Innovations brings new levels of support and resources, a welcome addition to provide long-term stability for the services.”

 The services will remain under the Momentum name and all employees and Shared Living Home Providers will continue in the roles they have serving the same individuals they currently do. Strout will remain after the acquisition as the Executive Director for Momentum. The Momentum name and brand identity will continue through the first phase of transition. 

Together the two organizations will serve around 1,300 people through shared living, community supports and employment services.
