NeighborLink does free home repair for very low-income seniors to allow them to remain safely in their own homes. We need a few handymen who can either do tasks like grab bar installation, hand railings, broken windows, etc., or help experts doing more involved projects. Work schedule is up to you. We can work that out after you give this a try and see if you like it. How often you work is completely up to you and your schedule. Call us 317 286-2740 and we'll describe it all to you. You can try it and see if it works for you. We have lots of seniors in need of help. You can see the actual requests for help at our website. Ask for Terence or Tom. Thanks.

Mission Statement
NeighborLink Indianapolis mission is to help older adults and individuals with disabilities who own their own homes age in place safely and with dignity. We do this by providing home repair at no cost to the homeowner.
Description
We focus on home repairs that enable the homeowner to age in place safely, stabilize the home for years to come, and provide an improved appearance for the neighborhood at large. Many of the repairs we provide would be able to be done by the homeowner if they had the means or physical ability. By using volunteers we are able to help the homeowner as well as provide that intimate experience of truly being the hands and able-body for someone else.
Most older adults want to age in the most affordable home-the one they own. Aging in place allows older adults some level of autonomy and dignity over their own health and decisions. It allows many to remain within communities they’ve been a part of for decades. Social determinants of health, particularly including the ability to keep their home safe and accommodating to their physical needs, are among some of the most challenging barriers to aging in place.
