CHORE Services

State

This program provides you with home maintenance and minor repairs. You can get help from this program if you are 60 years of age or older or if you have a disability and live alone. You must also live in a community that provides the services. Your community may have other program requirements.

About this program

This program provides you with home maintenance and minor repairs. Services may include:

  • Maintenance work:Minor plumbing and electrical work, changing of storm doors and screens, installing window plastic, changing furnace filters, cleaning gutters, replacing locks, and installing smoke alarms
  • Seasonal assistance:Grass cutting, leaf raking, and snow removal

The type of services available may be different depending on where you live. Additionally, service is limited and therefore will be given on a priority basis for people who have the greatest need.

How do I apply?

To find out if the service is available in your area, you should contact your local office. Not all Area Agencies on Aging will provide chore services.
