Senior Services of Rock County Inc

Stop Gap Registry and Home Repair Registry sends in screened, qualified workers to provide supportive home care to our clients who reside in Rock County, WI and receive county assistance; these workers are our employees and/or independent contractors and we refer them to clients homes to provide assistance on a scheduled basis. They provide such tasks as cooking, cleaning, vacuuming, run errands, assist with bathing, laundry, and home repair chores such as mowing and shovelling, etc. We pay our workers semi-monthly and bill the county or private long-term care insurance monthly at a higher rate which produces the revenue to run this program and cover administrative costs.
