As always with this sort of thing, I'm glad you did it, but concerned that it ended up having to be you that did it. I wonder if the council or social services would subsidise a "Mr Fixit", basically a subsidised handyman who can be called out by elderly/disabled people in a certain area to come ASAP and do the little DIY things they can't do themselves, like change a lightbulb, replace a fuse, re-fix or tighten up fixings for grab-rails, put the curtains back up when they come down, bleed the radiators, and all those other little bits that don't require a highly trained professional, just need sorting out.
