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:
