I’m legitimately asking if you are for real here?
What are you doing to your house every year?

If you are talking about seniors still living in their home, which will probably be older, and they can't do the work themselves, $5000 does not go that far when you have to factor in the labor as well. Many might not be doing their own yard work, particularly winter time, they certainly won't be going up on their roofs to check out things, they won't be up ladders painting, at least they should not be.
And the goal is to keep seniors in their home as long as possible as it does not cost the health system as much.
