IN THIS LESSON

Seniors living in their own homes may require basic home maintenance such as replacing a light bulb or fixing a blocked drain.

Offer your handyman services to seniors.

Seniors are generally classified as those people who are over the age of 65; however, many people of this age are still working and living normal lives. Sadly some people, even younger than 65, are not so lucky and often people like this need companionship more than anything else. They can feel isolated and lonely which can lead to depression and anxiety, especially if they live alone and have mobility problems.

Ask nursing homes and local senior centres how you can help provide the services offered below to seniors in their own homes or in nursing homes. Spending time helping seniors with personal care, beauty care, gardening, handyman work or transport are ways for you to earn money on an hourly basis.
