news
release comes via Lifelong Montclair and Montclair Township.</DIV>

<DIV>Preparing for emergencies like hurricanes and snow storms usually means
scrambling to stores for supplies like flashlights, batteries, water and
food.
If you are a senior citizen with poor eye sight, limited mobility and you no
longer drive, you might feel helpless and worried about the upcoming
hurricane
and winter season. The Senior Home Repair Program of Essex County won't
supply
you with water or food, but it can help senior homeowners and their
caregivers
in Essex County to prepare for emergencies and to secure their homes so that
they can weather the storms ahead.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Additional funds from the Essex County Division of Senior Services have
enabled local nonprofit, Life Management, Inc., to extend services to a
greater
number of senior homeowners and caregivers in Essex County by December 31,
2018.
The targeted population for services are minority seniors with low incomes,
who
are living in urban areas, needing minor carpentry, plumbing and electrical
repairs, or ramps, stair lifts and grab bars, to name a few types of jobs.
Senior owners must be age sixty and over. Also, caregivers of any age can
apply
for assistance if they are helping a senior living in Essex County.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Life Management has been assisting seniors with residential maintenance
for
over 18 years. The Agency uses contractors that have been tested and trusted
throughout the years. The Agency has been replacing and securing windows,
doors,
storm doors and weather stripping; installing hand rails, grab bars, motion
detectors, peep holes; fixing leaking pipes and toilets; unclogging drains;
replacing water heaters and faulty electrical outlets and light fixtures;
repairing stairs and ceilings; and installing smoke detectors throughout the
County of Essex. Those are just some of the many repairs that can been done
for
seniors at no cost to them.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Senior Home Repair Program funded by the Essex County Division of
Senior Services wants to assist Essex County seniors and their caregivers to
prepare for emergencies like Hurricane Sandy, and dangerous snow storms. We
also
want to help keep seniors safe from break-ins, water and wind damage, and
from
falls that can be caused by poor lighting, rotting stairs, uneven sidewalks
and
a lack of hand rails. If you are a senior citizen who owns a home in Essex
County, or are a caregiver who provides for a senior in your home, you are
eligible for free home repair assistance and even a ramp to help you get
outside
your home.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Winter will be here before you know it... doors, windows, and AC units
can
be drafty and deadly for seniors. If you are a senior, or would like to
refer a
senior for home repair assistance, please call: 973-655-0300.</DIV>
