Handy Home Service and Transportation

Aging Partners works to ensure your safety, choices and peace of mind in the place you call home. We respect your dignity and privacy and promote independent living. 

Do you want to stay in your current home, but are experiencing difficulty? Counselors are available to visit and complete an assessment of your situation. You will be offered options based on your individual needs. This information is strictly confidential and will help you and your family make informed decisions. Examples of services which may help you remain in your home include:

• Durable Medical Equipment
• Handy Home Services
• Transportation options

Durable Medical Equipment

Providing items that address short- and long-term needs. We have various lightly used and/or new in-the-box items in stock including crutches, walkers, canes, wheelchairs, bath chairs and toilet risers. For more information, call 402-441-7032.

Handy Home Services

Handy Home Services can complete small projects around the house to help our Lincoln clients stay in their homes. We can handle mowing, snow removal and small home repairs that are often too minor for licensed contractors to take on. This service is available in Lincoln only and is dependent on having technicians available. Due to funding restrictions, we cannot work on rental properties. 

To use the program, you must:

• Be 60 years of age or older. 
• Own the house where the work is being done. 
• Occupy the house. 

What do we mean by “small” projects? Since we aren’t a commericial shop and don’t employ licensed technicians, we focus on tasks that don’t require city permits or specialized training.

Our services include, but are not limited to: 

• Tightening loose hinges. 
• Hanging smoke detectors. 
• Changing toilet tank flappers. 
• Nailing loose boards. 
• Installing new light bulbs. 

If you have questions about how we can help you, please reach out to Laurie at 402-441-7030.
