Our “Word of Mouth” and “Close to Home” Project

for

Service Providers

One of Kalorama Village’s on-going projects is to compile a list of service providers that have been used satisfactorily in the past by your neighbors.  While the people/businesses on this list have not been vetted by Senior Checked, we believe that there are often service providers that may operate close to or even from our neighborhood whom you might want to use.  This list will only be as good as the input we receive from you.  If you use one of the providers and are not happy, please let us know.  If you know of a provider who does great work, please share your information.  It’s also entirely possible that some of these service providers may decide they want to be vetted by Senior Checked to become part of their program.  Please send your recommendations to info@kaloramavillage.org or to Kalorama Village, 2126 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Apt. 52, Washington, DC  20008.
