Help For Elderly Parents in Mooresville - Mr. Handyman Makes It Easy

Aging in place, or remaining in one’s own home instead of transferring to an assisted care facility, has been shown to offer numerous benefits. Studies have discovered that older folks who are able to remain at home and with their communities and friends have an increased quality of life and, as a result, often live longer and with more fulfillment. However, aging in place can be difficult for some families—especially when your older relative lives far away.

Families can’t be expected to always remain in the same place, which can leave children separated from their aging parents. That’s why Mr. Handyman of Mooresville is so proactive about helping our community’s older folks to adjust their homes for safety and accessibility. Our handymen have earned their Age Safe® certifications, demonstrating that we’ve gone above and beyond when it comes to training for home repairs and maintenance that help older individuals stay safe.

Mr. Handyman schedules our jobs so that we can devote full attention to your task and get it done thoroughly on a reliable timetable.
  • We assess the home – If you’re not around to examine your family member’s home and ask for specific fixes, we can do that for you! Mr. Handyman conducts a proactive safety assessment to identify which areas might cause the most problems for your older loved one. We can lay out potential fixes, organizing them by importance and safety. This gives you greater control over the process, even from afar.
