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.
