Twynham has signed up to Help and Care Handiworks scheme.
The scheme is to help anyone over the age of 60 living in one of our homes in the Dorset area with minor repairs such as:

• small areas of plastering and tiling, filling holes and cracks
• fitting shelves
• easing doors and repairing windows
• draught proofing and insulation
• curtain tracks and blinds
• replacing and repairing taps
• replacing ball valves
• plumbing in washing machines
• fitting hand/grab rails
• key safes
• changing light bulbs, switches and plugs
• door and window locks, chains and viewers
• smoke detectors

We will pay the membership fee to register anyone over 60 years old and then pay Help and Care the labour costs for carrying out repairs.

The scheme currently operates in the Dorset area, but Help and Care are looking to expand the scheme into Hampshire in the future.

To use the scheme, please phone Help and Care on 0845 4500 418.
