House and garden maintenance

"House and garden maintenance"

About: Alpine@Home

(as a service user),

I am in my late 80s and my partner is in their early 90s. I need help cleaning & house & garden maintenance because osteoarthritis prevents me from cleaning gutters, scrubbing floors etc. We both prefer to stay in our own home. Family live in Sydney & Northern N.S.W. & are themselves aged & sick or nearing retiring age, have families & responsibilities.

At present Alpine health provides someone to clean 1 or 2 hours alternate weeks. I feel this is a very superficial clean & is subsidised. House maintenance & garden help is not provided.

We do not need personal care such as meals showering etc. although I believe that those are available if needed.
