The Homemaker Program

The Homemaker Program is funded through the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission and is designed to enhance the independence of the individual and prevent unnecessary hospitalization, injury, or premature nursing home placement, by providing assistance with homemaking tasks. The tasks provided by this program include meal preparation, grocery shopping, medication pick up, laundry, and light housekeeping.

A clinician comes to the home and completes a comprehensive assessment and determines needs. A homemaker is then assigned to the individual to provide up to four hours a week of services.
