Calgary Aging in Place Cooperative (CAIP)

Information submitted by Belle Auld on behalf of the Education Committee

Some of us senior Sunnyhill residents may be interested in the services that this (relatively) new co-op – the Calgary Aging in Place Cooperative – offers.

Here is information from their website (http://www.calgaryaginginplace.ca):

“Essentially, our role at CAIP is to find services needed to stay in your own home. Whether it is house cleaning, handy persons, snow removal, lawn-care, a plumber or an electrician, we find the services for you. Then, we negotiate the best rate possible.”

CAIP services that Sunnyhill residents may be interested in include:

  • House cleaning service
  • Yard work and landscaping
  • Home maintenance or renovations such as carpentry work, painting and flooring
  • Junk removal
  • Home safety evaluations and upgrades.

Services are then billed to you by CAIP - not directly from the service provider.

Membership with the Calgary Aging in Place Cooperative is $60.00/year.

Here is a link to the membership form:
