House Cleaning

Home health care can include cleaning as well. Older adults can no longer clean or maintain their homes due to their inability to reach high places or carry/move heavy things around. Levels of light housekeeping service may include kitchen and bathroom cleaning, cleaning up clutter and being in charge of taking out the trash.

Light housekeeping may mean sweeping and mopping, dusting, vacuuming around furniture, wiping down counters, hanging up towels and washcloths to dry or put in the wash and making the bed or changing sheets. Home health aides are also happy to tend to beloved houseplants. All of this provides peace of mind to the family and the senior.
