This program can pay for chore or housekeeping help when you need extra help because of your health. You can get help from a Short Term Chore Program or Heavy Duty Chore Program. The short term program is for people who have a short-term need for help, such as a temporary disability or recovering after a hospital stay. The heavy duty program is for people who need major help at home with things like window cleaning, moving and cleaning behind heavy furniture, washing walls, and removing trash.
