Senior Home Maintenance Service

Senior home maintenance services help elderly homeowners maintain their homes - handling repairs, maintenance, safety modifications, and upkeep tasks that seniors can no longer perform themselves as they age in place.

You provide trustworthy compassionate service.

Hourly rates range from $50-$90 or monthly retainers $200-$800.

Serving 25-60 senior clients generates $70,000-$220,000 annually with 55-70% margins.

Target clients include elderly homeowners aging in place, adult children caring for elderly parents, senior living coordinators, Area Agencies on Aging, veterans programs, and elder care managers.

Services include general home repairs and maintenance, safety modifications (grab bars, ramps), fall prevention improvements, seasonal maintenance (gutter cleaning, winterizing), minor accessibility modifications, and coordinating contractors for major work.

Success requires patience and communication with seniors, trustworthiness and background checks, understanding senior needs and limitations, working with adult children and caregivers, potentially providing transportation to appointments, and building trust through reliable honest service.

Many senior maintenance services emphasize relationship building versus transactional service, work with senior services organizations for referrals, offer monthly visit packages for ongoing upkeep, potentially expand to companion services or errands, background check and bond for credibility, and build loyal following through treating seniors with dignity and respect.
