A Little Help Can Make a Big Difference

 

United Way Area Agency on Aging’s Homemaker & Personal Care program is available to individuals who are age 60 or older, live alone and need help for a minimum of two hours per week with two or more activities of daily living. Such activities may include:

• Light housekeeping
• Laundry
• Simple meal preparation
• Bathing assistance
• Dressing and grooming assistance

Service is provided by the staff of local home-healthcare agencies, which have been carefully screened by, and are under contract with, UWAAA. Individual staff members are screened by the contracting agencies they work for.

Having a little help can be the difference between living in your own home and having to give up your independence. UWAAA’s Homemaker & Personal Care program is enabling seniors to maintain order in their lives, and allowing them to stay where they want to be.

For additional details and to find out whether you qualify for in-home assistance through UWAAA’s Homemaker & Personal Care program, call 1-800-AGE-LINE (1-800-243-5463).
