if you are 60 years and older, do not have an able bodied adult living with you, and are unable to do daily household chores due to physical and/or mental illnesses, you can receive homemaker service. The service provides weekly or bi-weekly visits or basic cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping and limited personal care assistance. Services are restricted to conclude a completion of any medical concerns or one-year duration. The suggested donations for service are $2.00 an hour.
