​

The Better at Home program helps older adults continue living independently in their own homes, and stay connected to the community, by providing simple, non-medical home support services such as: 

 

• Light Housekeeping

• Transportation 

• Friendly Visitor

• Light Yard Work

• Minor Home Repairs

• Snow Removal

​

Services are delivered through the PWC by volunteers and paid workers.

 

Am I eligible?

Potential participants are assessed by a PWC Service Coordinator based on financial eligibility and individual needs. Those who are not eligible can still participate in other PWC programs and services such as Friendly Visitor/Caller and Transportation.

​

Is there a cost?

Participants are charged on a sliding scale basis, based on income for the light housekeeping, transportation, yard work and snow removal services.​

 

There is a suggested donation for the transportation service based on the length of the trip requested.

​
