Senior Special Projects Sun Prairie, WI

Special projects are the one-off tasks that never quite get done — organizing a closet or garage, putting up holiday decorations, sorting decades of photos, or figuring out a new phone or tablet. We take these on for seniors in Sun Prairie and nearby Dane County towns.

Every home has a short list of jobs that have been waiting for the right afternoon. They are too big to squeeze into a normal week and too small to hire a contractor for, so they sit. Caring Companion is happy to take them on, one project at a time.

Popular requests include emptying and reorganizing a closet or garage, getting holiday decorations up and back down again, and sorting shoeboxes of photographs into albums — a project that tends to turn into hours of storytelling along the way.

Technology help is another regular one. We will set up a new tablet, get video calls with grandchildren working, sort out a phone that keeps ringing with spam, show your loved one how to browse the Sun Prairie Public Library's online catalog and e-books, or write out simple step-by-step instructions to keep by the chair. It is patient, no-jargon in-home assistance with nobody rushing.

Special project questions

What counts as a special project?

Any one-off, non-medical task around the home that a family member would otherwise take on: organizing a closet or garage, hanging holiday decorations, sorting photos, filing paperwork, or getting a phone, tablet or television working properly again.

Can I book a project without ongoing visits?

Absolutely. Special projects are usually one-time or occasional bookings, scheduled for the hours the job needs, and many families use one as a first, low-commitment introduction before deciding whether regular visits would help.

Is this medical or handyman work?

Neither. Caring Companion provides non-medical support and does not perform home repairs, electrical or plumbing work, or anything requiring ladders and heavy lifting. Projects stay within organizing, decorating, sorting and friendly technology help.
