Aging in Place: Home Maintenance Service provides peace of mind for families of seniors

Posted by Andrew Balfour on Aug 24, 2015 6:10:10 AM

Like many adult children of seniors, Abbie knows what it is like to worry about her elderly mother, Libby. A vibrant and active woman in her mid-80’s Libby has lived in the same Montgomery County neighborhood for more than 30 years. Aging has slowed her down a little, but Libby still enjoys vacations and travel, and maintains an active social life. Most of all, she prizes her independence and the ability to remain surrounded by memories in the home where she and her late husband raised their children and enjoyed the best years of their lives. Hassle Free Home Services helps provide Abbie with peace of mind, knowing that her mother’s home will remain safe and in good repair for as long as she chooses to stay there. Every month, Libby receives a household check-up from Jim, her certified handyman from Hassle Free Home Services. Jim checks Libby’s home for routine maintenance tasks, covering everything from light bulbs to caulking, from hanging pictures to changing air filters and trimming hedges. He also takes care of safety issues such as leaky roofs and loose carpeting. “Mom loves her home and we are committed to helping her stay there as long as possible,” said Abbie. “We help as much as we can, but it is wonderful to have professionals we can count on. Knowing that her surroundings are safe and that she can call on Jim at any time is essential to her personal security and wellbeing. In addition to routine tasks, Hassle Free works with a select list of vendors to schedule necessary add-on services such as HVAC tune ups and gutter cleanings at the appropriate time of the year and provides regular reminders and updates in support of the monthly maintenance visits. I hear so many stories of door to door handymen taking advantage of older people, and in fact it’s even happened to Mom in the past,” said Abbie. “It’s reassuring to know that Jim and Andrew at Hassle Free Homes have vetted contractors, and take complete care of scheduling, supervising and billing their work."

Hassle Free Home Services has been providing residential services in the Washington DC Metro area since 2003. Franchise opportunities are available offering HFHS systems, software, training and marketing support to help like-minded entrepreneurs successfully launch their own home maintenance franchises.
