Homemaker & Personal Care
A Little Help around the House
Empowering Independence with CareIf you live alone, sometimes a little extra help can be life changing. UWAAA’s Homemaker and Personal Care program provides temporary in-home assistance so that certain household and personal tasks can be taken care of when you’re unable to carry them out on your own.
How We Help
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 Assistance
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).
