SENIOR CITIZENS

Specialise in helping the elderly senior citizens

For many senior citizens, even simple tasks—like changing a light bulb - can become difficult and potentially dangerous, especially when ladders are involved. Recognising this, my service aims to support older adults who wish to remain independent in their own homes but may struggle with upkeep and repairs.

​

Organising contractors can be overwhelming, particularly for seniors who may be unfamiliar with current methods, regulations, or fair pricing. A natural hesitation to trust unfamiliar workers can further discourage them from addressing even basic maintenance issues.

​

Unfortunately, when routine tasks are left undone, homes can quickly begin to deteriorate - something that is not only stressful but also emotionally disheartening. Our goal is to relieve that burden by providing a reliable, respectful, and senior-friendly service that ensures peace of mind and preserves the value and comfort of their homes.

PEACE OF MIND FOR RELATIVES - YOUNG & OLD

 

We all want our elderly loved ones to remain in their own homes for as long as they wish. But as we age we often need help and guidance with home maintenance - something our increasingly busy lives or distant locations can make difficult to provide. Without nearby family or friends to step in, seniors can become vulnerable to dishonest contractors who may overcharge or mislead them about what’s needed. That’s where I come in. I offer reliable, transparent support to ensure your loved one’s home is well cared for—and that they are treated with the respect they deserve

HELPING YOU FEEL SAFE AND SUPPORTED AT HOME

 

As a retired police officer, I understand the importance of trust, safety and peace of mind. I offer a personal, personable, reliable service for older adults and their families, acting as a single point of contact for all home maintenance and modification needs.

Whether working directly with the client or a nominated family member, I aim to remove the stress and uncertainty often associated with home repairs and contractor visits.

I can help with:

  • Installation of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms

  • Fitting Careline emergency call systems

  • Grab rails, non-slip surfaces for baths/showers, and adapted toilets, baths, and showers

  • Managing the installation of stair lifts and access security systems

  • Managing broadband/Wi-Fi setup

  • Remote/timed curtain openers

  • TV setup, furniture moving, and help getting started with WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, X, and eBay

  • Friendly, knowledgeable advice if you’re worried about scams, phishing or fraud attempts

​

HOME SAFETY AND CARE INSPECTIONS

​

I can carry out a thorough inspection of your home, identifying any safety issues or future maintenance needs. From there, we can create a rolling plan or simply tackle issues as they arise — no job is too small.

​

A TRUSTED LINK TO FULLY IN SURED PROFESSIONALS

​

If a job is too large for me to complete alone, I’ll arrange quotes from reputable, fully insured tradespeople and ensure the work is done properly - including managing any snagging or follow-ups. This eliminates the hassle and risk of dealing with unknown contractors.

​

PEACE OF MIND FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

​

Whether you need occasional help or regular check-ins, I offer a dependable, friendly, and secure service that protects you from poor workmanship, inflated costs, and the stress of managing home issues alone.
