Access to other Service Providers

Some tasks may be beyond a Volunteer’s skill or experience, so Neighbors Network provides our Members with access to quality service providers for a variety of home maintenance and personal tasks. We only refer service providers who have been referred to us by Members, Volunteers and others in the community who have been satisfied with their services. It is the Member’s responsibility to contact these providers to compare fees and services, arrange for services, and make payment.

Access to Health and Home Care Providers

Neighbors Network’s Affinity Partner, Share the Care, maintains a network of screened health and home care providers. To access a provider, Neighbors Network Members can go through Share the Care’s free, online caregiver assessment known as Caregiver Central at www.caregivercentral.org. It is the Member’s responsibility to contact these providers to compare fees and services, arrange for services, and make payment.
