Our Homemaking staff provides light housekeeping to eligible seniors. A case manager will visit you for an in-home evaluation to determine services and level of need. Clients are placed on services using prioritization factors such as emergency situations, chronic health conditions, and limited resources. A Homemaker will be assigned for a bi-weekly visit to perform such tasks as dusting, sweeping, linen changes, laundry and meal preparation. Great conversation, a smile and a little laughter is all part of the atmosphere provided by our in-home staff.
