The unforeseen COVID-19 pandemic has drastically affected the lives of everyone in the United States and around the world, while forcibly changing the way society functions — at least for the time being. One main adaptation means spending more time at home than ever before. Many people are working from home and dependent on everyday utilities, such as electricity, water, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi. In normal life, having an A/C unit break or a water leak is a hassle in itself. Now, if one of these things were to happen, it will be more of a disaster than ever. Many companies are working with a lean staff/reduced workforce, meaning less availability and working shorter hours.
Another issue that people are struggling with is close family members who may not be able to take care of these maintenance tasks, due to age. Retirement and assisted living facilities are a dangerous place for older family members at this time. Helping seniors stay in their homes longer falls directly within Sterns Home-Care’s mission of enhancing the quality of life in the home and providing environmentally friendly solutions. Hiring professionals to take care of residential homes can go a long way to help reduce stress while keeping your home in check. Stearns Home-Care, a subsidiary of Stearns Design Build, now offers an annual subscription service that provides regular home maintenance.
It includes a multitude of things such as cleaning gutters, maintaining fixtures and appliances, changing light bulbs and batteries, and checking and repairing weather stripping. A full spectrum of service is provided over six visits annually.
