Helping Hands

Sometimes jobs around the house become difficult to do and you need just a little extra help. North Ottawa County Council on Aging has a program for you – Helping Hands.
Some of the ways we can help are listed below:

Homemaking Laundry
Companionship Ironing
Respite Pet Care
Personal Care Assistance Rides
Minor Household Repair Painting
Lawn Maintenance Snow Removal
Leaf Removal Grocery Shopping
Gardening Window Washing
Errand Assistance Simple Meal Preparation

NOCCOA interviews applicants and performs a criminal background check on them. If they are selected to be included on our approved list, their name, price they charge, and contact information will be added.

You tell NOCCOA what you need and we give you the appropriate list. You can then contact names on the list and hire whom you like for the length of time you need. You pay them directly, not through NOCCOA.

NOCCOA can help you hire someone if you would like. For a fee, a staff person will sit with you during interviews and even conduct the reference checks. You still hire the person you like, but we are right beside you all the way.

To learn more about this program and what the current fees are, please contact the Home Services Coordinator at the Grand Haven office, 616-842-9210. You can also contact her through e-mail at: jacque@noccoa.org.

This is just one way NOCCOA is here to Enhance Seniors Lives.
