Nashville, Murfreesboro & Middle Tennessee
Stay safely in the home you love.
Senior Home Independence Services helps older adults throughout Nashville, Murfreesboro, and surrounding Middle Tennessee communities handle routine home maintenance, safety concerns, and small projects that can become harder to manage over time.
One trusted call for the little things that become big things as we get older.
Who We Help
Two ways we can help
Some people call for themselves. Some call for a parent. Either way, the goal is the same: a safer, better-kept home and fewer things to worry about.
I want help maintaining my home.
For older homeowners who want to stay independent without climbing ladders, crawling under sinks, or chasing down every small repair themselves.
See what we can doI am helping a parent or loved one.
For adult children who want a dependable local person keeping an eye on Mom or Dad's home, with updates after visits and honest notes about anything that needs attention.
Learn about family visitsThe Honest Problem
Maintaining a home does not get easier over time.
This is not about fear. It is just reality. The same tasks that were quick at 45 can become difficult, dangerous, or easy to forget at 70.
- Ladders become less practical and more risky.
- Small repairs get postponed until they become bigger problems.
- Filters and detectors get forgotten.
- Loose hardware goes unnoticed until something fails.
- Exterior maintenance becomes physically demanding.
- Family members may live too far away to help regularly.

A simple, predictable process
No pressure, no complicated contracts. You stay in control of what gets done and when.

Home Independence Assessment
Know what needs attention now, what can wait, and what to keep an eye on.
For $185, we spend roughly an hour walking through your home with you, inside and out, and organize everything we see into three plain categories so you know exactly where things stand.
Fix Now
Fix Soon
Keep an Eye On
What the assessment includes

Two Ways to Work With Us
Not Ready for a Membership? That's Okay.
You can still call us when you need help. One-time visits are available for home maintenance, safety concerns, household tasks, home checks, and other eligible services. No ongoing plan required.

Pricing Transparency
What does senior home maintenance cost?
We would rather you know the price before you call. Here is how we think about it.
Materials are usually separate unless we tell you otherwise. Add-on services are quoted separately based on the job. Some services cost more than others because of the time, equipment, or access involved, and we will always explain why before you commit to anything.

For Adult Children
Helping Mom or Dad should not require you to manage every repair from across town, or out of state.
If you live an hour away, or three states away, you cannot be there to check the gutters or tighten a loose railing every month. We can.
- Regular visits on a schedule you can count on.
- Written summaries and photos when appropriate.
- Honest notes about anything that needs attention.
- Help coordinating licensed professionals when real trade work is needed.
