Chore Services
Environmental Safety & Maintenance
Service Overview
What Are Chore Services?
Chore services are different from homemaker services. While homemaker services focus on daily household tasks, chore services address heavier maintenance work and environmental modifications that allow individuals to safely remain in their homes.
These services tackle the bigger tasks that most individuals cannot perform due to physical limitations, disability, or age — things like heavy cleaning, yard work, snow removal, and safety-related modifications to the home environment.
Without chore services, many individuals would face unsafe living conditions that could lead to falls, injuries, or the need for institutional placement. Chore services are a critical component of keeping people safe and independent at home.
