Homemaker Services
Homemaker Services include routine housekeeping and home management tasks that the senior is unable to perform themselves. Tasks include dusting, vacuuming, sweeping, shopping, laundry, making beds, washing dishes, and preparing meals, allowing seniors to live safely and independently in their own homes. Homemaker Services are only provided for seniors who are 60 and older, with low incomes, and need assistance with IADLs (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living).
