Homemaker Services

Program Overview

We provide all cleaning supplies

The Homemaker Program is aimed at assisting Seniors in keeping a healthy home. It is intended to provide basic homemaking services to help Seniors live independently as long as possible. The Homemaker Program is made possible and sponsored financially by:

Richland County Commissioners
Richland County Commission on Aging
Sidney Health Center
City of Sidney

Program Guidelines

Each Homemaker recipient is allowed up to 2 hours per month of Homemaker services; you MUST be home to receive services. While your Homemaker is working in your home, you can expect her to assist you by:

Dusting and tidying up the house
Making your bed and changing linens as needed
Mopping/Vacuuming the kitchen, bath, and living room
Cleaning the bathroom sinks, toilets, tub and/or shower

The Homemaker is NOT allowed to:

Perform heavy cleaning
Scrub walls/cupboards
Wax floors
Move furniture
Clean windows, curtains, or Venetian blinds

Eligibility Guidelines

There are no financial requirements or applications required to begin receiving Homemaker services. The program is open to all Seniors in Richland County age 60 and over.

It is mandatory that you notify your Homemaker if you will not be able to keep an appointment the two of you have set up. Repeated "no show" appointments may cause your service to be moved to the next person on the waiting list.
