For seniors in our society, cleaning their homes and doing chores can be difficult due to limited mobility or the challenge of reaching high places. Light housekeeping provides a helpful solution by focusing on everyday cleaning tasks that make a home comfortable and tidy without requiring strenuous effort. This type of assistance includes cleaning dishes after meals, drawing baths and setting out fresh towels, and taking care of basic cleaning like wiping up spills, sanitizing surfaces, and changing bed linens.
In addition, light housekeeping involves keeping the home organized and pleasant by dusting surfaces, taking out the trash, and sweeping or vacuuming floors. It also includes smaller tasks like hanging up or putting away towels and washcloths, tending to houseplants, and organizing closets and drawers. This approach ensures that the home remains clean and welcoming, providing peace of mind without heavy cleaning chores.
