Care & Repair
The Age Concern Care and Repair Service offers a directory of service providers who can assist seniors with home tasks. Whether it’s gardening, cleaning, maintenance, or odd jobs, our service connects older people with reliable, trusted and vetted providers who can help manage these often challenging tasks.
Charges for the Care and Repair Services such as home help, housework, gardening, gutter and window cleaning are kept as low as possible and payment is directly between client and provider. All people who offer their services as home support providers are interviewed, referee and police checked. When a request is received from a client, our coordinator contacts the provider who gets in touch with the client and the work is completed.
The Care and Repair services helps to ensure seniors can maintain their homes safely and comfortably, helping to keep their independence. Let us help you find the right support to keep your home in great shape.
