Handy Home Services

If you need to arrange for some minor repair work or snow removal at your residence, or borrow some crutches or a walker, Aging Partners’ Community Activities and Services section may be able to help.

Handy Home Services (minor home repairs)

Our mission is to support older adults’ choice to live independently and retain home ownership. We’ve helped do this over the past 40 years by providing assistance with necessary home maintenance and minor home repair services.

Do you need assistance with home maintenance and minor home repairs? Aging Partners’ Handy Home Services can help. Our skilled workers are typically retired workers who have learned home repair from many years of personal experience. They can help with a variety of tasks including carpentry, electrical and plumbing repairs, gutter cleaning, heavy housework, mowing and yard work, window and screen repairs, and snow removal. We do not undertake large projects such as roofing, remodeling, flooring, HVAC or large painting jobs. Assistance is available upon request, with an easy-to-complete application required to begin service. Work requiring City permits cannot be done.

To qualify for Handy Home Services assistance, you must be 60 years of age, own and reside in the home where the work is being requested. Payment is based on a sliding fee scale. Financial information is required when signing up for the program.

We also work with the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department to provide the “Safe Home for Seniors” program which helps keep your home safe by removing and disposing of dangerous and unwanted chemicals from homes and provides safe disposal.
