Cleaning and light housekeeping are more than merely convenient services our home caregivers provide. They’re essential forms of support for a senior’s overall health and wellbeing. Aging adults may find it difficult to tell if surfaces are clean, and many housekeeping tasks also involve navigating dangerous fall hazards, such as:
- Cords on vacuums
- Cluttered floor areas
- Slippery floors in kitchens and bathrooms
- Carrying laundry baskets and other items up and down stairs
Stiff joints and mobility limitations can make many housekeeping tasks difficult or even dangerous. Such tasks include:
- Cleaning windows
- Making beds
- Carrying and transferring laundry between washers and dryers
- Mopping floors
A dedicated caregiver from Assisting Hands Home Care Columbus will perform any light housekeeping duties your loved one needs taken care of, including vacuuming, dusting, washing dishes, doing laundry, making beds, sweeping and mopping floors, and taking out the trash.
