Chore Service client

  • I moved to Salisbury about 30 years ago from Philadelphia, where I was working as Director of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. For many years, we had someone come in every couple of weeks—almost as a favor—and she became part of the family. She was with us for a long time, but eventually moved on to a full-time job.

    We’ve worked with Chore Service two times over the years. Some time ago, a young man helped us with odd jobs around the house. Now we have our home cleaned every other week. The caregiver does an excellent job, and it makes such a difference in our lives. Having that reliable support takes a real weight off and allows us to enjoy our home.

Our Mission

Chore Service fills the everyday gaps that help our neighbors remain safe and independent at home. As more older adults choose to age in place, many do so without nearby family support, as loved ones often live far away. At the same time, many can no longer drive and must rely on limited transportation options or the generosity of friends and neighbors. Chore provides practical, reliable support that consistently meets these needs with dignity.

Chore Service provides essential non-medical support to help older adults and those with disabilities maintain their independence and quality of life in their own homes.

Testimonials

What our clients and families say about Chore

  • "I am nearly blind. My chore worker is my eyes; she takes care of me. She never leaves my side when we're out. She is like the daughter I never had and is the best thing that has happened to me.”

    Claudia, Litchfield

  • "I was really sick, had cancer, and couldn’t do anything. The Chore Service came and did wonderful things for me. I’m so appreciative. I pay as much as I can, but it doesn’t even cover what the minimum hourly wage would be.”

    Theresa, Lakeville

  • "Our Chore Worker was so helpful to us and learned quickly how to take care of my handicapped husband. She saw things that needed to be done and never had to ask. She went out of her way to make things special for us. We would rather call her our friend.”

    Sally, Warren

  • "Over the past 5 years, I’ve been through a lot of medical problems, and Chore has saved me. You provide excellent services for the elderly. I don’t consider myself elderly at 72, but I’ve been grateful for all the help.”

    Jim, Washington

  • "I have had three surgeries, and there are things I cannot do alone. An extra set of hands is very much appreciated."

    Susan, Goshen
