Rushcliffe Community Voluntary Service (Rushcliffe CVS) has recently launched a new service called “Handy Housekeepers”.
The service provides help at home for elderly people who can’t do as much as they used to do around the house. The cost is £15 per hour and pro rata for half an hour. Staff will carry out cleaning, washing, ironing, changing beds, shopping and light household tasks.
Lifting heavy weights, gardening or carrying out any personal care won’t be provided. Staff are thoroughly vetted and insured, and initially the service is available anywhere in Rushcliffe.
“We will visit people at home and tailor the service according to their requirements” (Rebecca Archibald, service manager). To find out more, contact Rebecca on 0115 969 9060 or email handyhousekeepers@rushcliffecvs.org.uk. They’re open Monday to Friday from 9am to 12.30pm and 1.30pm to 4pm.
