Aging Services Home Repair & Accessibility Program volunteers use basic skills and tools to fix minor problems in an older adult's home. Projects can range from installing safety rails or fixing a dripping faucet to screwing in light bulbs and washing curtains. Aging Services staff will contact volunteers in advance to see if a project may be of interest to them. Volunteers are welcome to accept or decline the project when it is proposed to them. Your handy work will help a senior to continue to live independently in their own home. There's no place like home!
Volunteers must fill out an application, pass background checks, and must own some basic tools to participate. We will need you to be able to make simple repairs around the home of a client, adhere to the scope of work, and work with Aging Services staff to arrange for the purchase of minor supply needs (which you will be reimbursed for).
Volunteers are fully trained and must be willing to complete background checks. Aging Services is a certified Service Enterprise agency - join our efforts and learn more about how we support our community as a team!
