Home Care: If you have senior loved ones that are aging in place in the family home that home probably needs more upkeep than it’s getting.
Seniors may not be able to take care of the house and the property the way they used to. Even though spring isn’t here yet it’s just around the corner, and home maintenance providers are filling up their available slots at a faster rate than ever. If you want to make sure that your senior loved one’s home gets the maintenance it needs for the spring the following are the services that you should be booking for your senior loved ones now. Home care services providers can be on hand to help.
Air Conditioning Overhaul
Depending on where your senior loved ones live the time when they will need air conditioning may be just over the horizon. You should schedule a time to have an HVAC technician come out to clean your senior loved one’s ducts, clean the air conditioner, and check for any damage or problems so that when the warm weather arrives your senior parents will be comfortable. If you are planning on having central air installed now is the time to get estimates and schedule installation. If you can’t be at the house for the estimate or service appointment an in-home care provider can be there to make sure it gets done and to stay with your senior loved one.
Mowing and Landscaping
It probably seems like it’s too early to worry about lawn mowing and landscaping, but now is the time to book a lawn care service. You may be able to get a better price if you book now for the entire spring and summer. But some services are already close to full because there are so many homeowners trying to secure service and there is a shortage of skilled workers. Call some local lawn and garden service providers this month to get estimates and secure service before they are all booked for the upcoming seasons. If your senior loved ones have a service that they already use it’s a good idea to check in with that service and let them know your senior parents would like to book again this year.
Furnace Cleaning
It’s been a long and abnormally cold winter in most parts of the country. If your senior parents have been using their furnace more than usual this year you should have a furnace technician come and clean out the furnace, change the filter, and check to make sure there is no damage to the furnace. Making sure that the furnace is in good working order will help prevent any cold emergencies for your senior loved ones. If your senior parent’s senior care at home provider notices any changes in how the furnace is running make sure to get the furnace checked as quickly as possible.
Roofing Check And Repair
When the snow and cold have gone your senior loved one’s roof should be checked for damage and any small repairs that need to be done should be done. By scheduling an appointment for routine maintenance for the roof now you will be certain to get an appointment. If you wait until spring to schedule a routine maintenance visit there may not be a time slot available because so many homeowners are booking home services early.
