  • Home Repairs
    HOME R EPAIR S BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA MERIT BADGE SERIES HOME REPAIRS “Enhancing our youths’ competitive edge through merit badges” Note to the Counselor Nothing encourages pride in one’s surroundings more than being able to improve them through one’s own initiative and resources. That is why the Home Repairs merit badge can be so important to the development of a young person. Once a Scout learns basic home repair skills and applies them to his own environment, he will have a lifetime resource: his ability to learn new skills. Home repair, however, can be intimidat- ing at first, especially if the Scout lacks a role model for such activities. If possible, provide one-on-one or group activities that will get the Scout off to a good start. Encourage each Scout to acquire a good set of basic tools, and help Scouts learn to keep their tools in one place and in good repair. That way, they will “be prepared” to handle repairs as needed. There is no time limit for completing the requirements. Major tasks, such as waterproofing a basement, may be completed in tandem with another Boy Scout working on the requirement, and/or with the assistance of an adult. The majority of the work, however, should be performed by the Scouts earning the badge. This book provides a good overview of home-repair projects, but it is by no means a complete reference. For some requirements, space does not permit going into construction details or listing all possible repair variations. Therefore, any new construction or installation or completion of a similar project (for example, any toilet repair or adjustment) qualifies as achieving the requirement so long as the Boy Scout under- stands and demonstrates the basic concepts involved.

  • Home Care Services
    HOME CARE SERVICES The terminology related to home care services is often confusing. Here is a brief primer to help you become more acquainted with what services you may actually need. Home care services generally refer to non-medical services that seniors receive at home. Home Care Workers are non-medical care providers that assist with shopping, escorting, errands, cooking, and companionship in addition to cleaning and laundry. Some home care workers may also be trained to provide personal care. Further classifications of home care workers follow. Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA’s) – these care providers most often perform personal care tasks including assistance with bathing, dressing, toileting, and meal preparation. CNA’s must also pass a state certification exam that allows them to provide personal care to clients in their homes as well as in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and hospitals. Homemakers - these care providers perform mostly light housekeeping tasks such as cleaning the bathroom/kitchen, dusting, vacuuming, and laundry. Homemakers do not provide any personal care (i.e., hands on care). Home Health Aides - these care providers most often perform personal care tasks including assistance with bathing, dressing, toileting, and meal preparation. Home health aides may also perform some minimal homemaking tasks but it is not their primary function. Home health aide services may also be covered by Medicare if an individual is eligible for Medicare certified home health services (see page 91). Personal Care Homemakers – these care providers have completed additional training that allows them to assist with limited personal care (i.e., bathing and dressing) as well as light housekeeping.

  • 12 Tips for Finding a Home Handyman from the Winnebago County Older Adult Collaborative Group
    12 Tips for Finding a Home Handyman From the Winnebago County Older Adult Collaborative Group https://www.co.winnebago.wi.us/health Common handymen jobs: Minor plumbing repair, like a leaky Replacement of broken or cracked faucet glass Installing basic plumbing fixtures, Replacing a thermostat such as faucets or toilets Installing a mailbox Installing ceiling fans Cabinet repair Small paint jobs such as touch ups Bathroom caulking or grouting Drywall repair Fixing a loose hinge Caulking windows, doors, and siding Adding locks to doors Cleaning gutters Minor exterior repairs Installing light fixtures Sealing decks and porches Door installation *Please note that not all handymen are carpenters, electricians, or plumbers. #1 Make a list of the work you need done. List exactly what you want a handyman to accomplish before you contact one. Be upfront with what you expect, so the handyman can determine if your requests are within his abilities. Don’t throw in any surprises mid-way through the job. #2 Search local resources to find reliable candidates. Word of mouth is key. Check with your local home improvement store, ask your friends and neighbors, your real estate agent, people at your church, or your hair stylist. #3 Watch for scams – there are lots of them out there. Check with your local police department and the Better Business Bureau. #4 Get good reliable local references. Check with your local city government office that handles building, construction, and permits to make sure they're a familiar face there (if you're getting work done that requires permits) or that there aren't any outstanding complaints / pending legal issues with the handyman from City Hall's perspective.
