Making a difference in the lives of others

The Valley Housekeeping Program is designed to provide needed in-home services to senior citizens and handicapped individuals, making it possible for them to remain living in their own homes independently without the need for premature nursing home placements. We are dedicated to assisting our clients in everyday household chores as well as fall and spring cleaning.  Our homemakers are available in Beltrami, Polk, Pennington, Norman, Marshall, Roseau, Mahnomen, Lake of the Woods, Clay and Red Lake Counties.

Who can receive homemaking services? 

•  Elderly;

• Disabled;

•  Family preservation; and

• Mentally ill individuals who reside in their own homes

• Clients are referred to the Senior Companion Program via Public Health agencies, Social Service Agencies, family members, Area Agency on Aging, area clinics and hospitals.  Some clients refer themselves for services.  If you or know someone who is in need of a Homemaker please contact your Social Service Agency or Public Health Agency, or us directly at our office: 1-866-801-6450 or 218-281-5832 and we will assist you in obtaining the information needed to begin receiving services.  You may also email us: bbozyk@tvoc.org or April@tvoc.org.
