The Handyperson Service is comprised of a coordinator and a small team of handypeople on staff, whom the coordinator supervises on a daily basis. The service works with a range of health and social care providers, local organisations and older residents, and unpaid carers. The service assists with hospital discharges ensuring safety equipment is in place for a successful discharge. In addition, the service provides minor repairs and adaptations for clients to improve safety, security, and quality of life at home.
