Making Life Easier for Older Adults

Handyman Services

Senior Services offers a handyman program for seniors in Midland County. A volunteer team of handymen and handywomen help seniors maintain their homes by making them safe and in secure condition. Team Handyman also makes small repairs and do other handy tasks.
