The above chores are listed to serve as a guideline. If you have a chore request, please call our office to see if it is a job we can do. Our chore worker will come to your home and assess the job. If we are unable to provide the service, we may be able to refer you to another provider.
If you have a chore request, please call the Council on Aging at 419-523-4121 or toll-free 1-877-796-1760. We do ask that you be home when the work is completed. We also want to thank you for providing the supplies. Donations are graciously accepted to help support the program!
