Arapahoe County has a program for seniors needing help with yard work.  For information contact Arapahoe County Senior Resources Division at 303-738-8080 or pdean@co.arapahoe.co.us

Winter has arrived and many seniors face the challenges of physically demanding chores which are needed to get thier homes ready for winter. Arapahoe County (Colorado) has a Chore Services program that can assist seniors at no cost.

Chore Services are available to county residents, age 60 or older, who have limited financial resources and who are unable to perform chores due to health reasons.  Chore Services can help seniors to continue living independently in their own homes, have a safer environment and keep up their home's appearance.  Examples of services can include:

  • Fall and spring yard work, such as raking leaves and picking up fallen debris.
  • Washing outdoor first-floor windows and any inside windows.
  • Major cleaning, organizing or de-cluttering projects.
  • Assistance with unpacking after a move to subsidized housing.
  • Help with preparing for Housing and Urban Developement inspections. 

Last year, Chore Services helped more than 235 seniors with one-time projects to maintain thier homes.
