Services
Care for home. Help for life.
Choose a home check, help with the everyday, or a specialist for something specific. Services can stand alone or fit into a regular care plan.
How to read this list
Every service below is labelled with who performs it. Alberta treats plumbing, gasfitting, electrical and refrigeration as compulsory-certification trades, so some work that gets casually called handyman work is not. Where that line falls is stated on each service rather than discovered at the door.
