The Warsaw municipal government provides various free and subsidized assistance programs for senior residents. 

One specific initiative, the ‘golden hand’ programme, offers free in-home repairs for residents aged 75 and older. This service covers minor household faults, such as fixing leaking taps, faulty sockets, or clogged drains, with labor costs covered up to 300 zł for visits lasting up to three hours. Residents are responsible for providing the necessary materials.

Beyond technical home maintenance, the city offers broader support through Intergenerational Activity Centers, which host workshops and physical activities. Additionally, Warsaw funds various health prevention programs, though eligibility for these services may vary based on age or other specific criteria.
