The fastest growing segment of our population is the group 85 years and older. Many of these people are low-income, frail and living alone. As they grow older they are in need of health and safety repairs and adaptations to their homes. Unfortunately, many do not have the financial resources to pay for these services. Once an elderly person becomes frail and disabled, they need changes made to their homes such as adding grab bars in the bathroom and building a wheelchair ramp to their front door. They may also need minor repairs to their homes to ensure their safety, including replacing doors, widening doorframes, and installing deadbolt locks.
The CSS Handyman Program helps seniors remain safe and secure in their own homes for as long as possible.In 2010, 99 projects were completed including installing grab-bars, building wheelchair ramps, repairing locks, etc… "I love my new wheelchair ramp," a client said, the gentleman was so nice too."
