Light Housekeeping
Part of Wellness Care · $30 an hour
A tidy home is a safer home.
Clutter on the floor, laundry piling up, a dim hallway. They seem small, but they are exactly what the CDC says to fix to prevent falls. Our caregivers keep the home clean, clear and comfortable, so your loved one can keep living in it.

Why it matters
Most fall hazards are easy to fix.
The CDC's home safety checklist starts with the basics: clear the floors and stairs, fix loose rugs, and make sure rooms are well lit. Keeping up with that every week is hard on your own.

What's included
The everyday chores that wear people out.
✓ Dusting, vacuuming and sweeping
✓ Dishes and kitchen cleanup
✓ Laundry, folding and putting away
✓ Changing bed sheets
✓ Taking out trash and recycling

Light housekeeping covers the rooms your loved one uses every day. It doesn't include heavy cleaning like moving furniture, washing outside windows or deep carpet cleaning.
How we do it
Their home, kept their way.
Safety first
Cords out of walkways, rugs flat, night lights working. We notice the trip hazards and fix the ones we can.
Done together
If they like folding towels, they fold the towels. Helping out keeps them moving and feeling useful.
More time for you
When the chores are covered, your visits can be about time together, not catching up on laundry.
Signs it may be time
You might be noticing:
Piles of mail, papers or clothes on the floor
Dishes stacking up in the sink
The same sheets on the bed for weeks
Trash not making it out to the curb
Burned-out bulbs nobody changed
Mom apologizing for the house
A home that's getting away from someone is often an early sign they need a little help. Starting now keeps it a little help.

Common questions
No. Light housekeeping is part of Wellness Care and Personal Care, so a caregiver can tidy, cook, run errands and keep them company in the same visit.
Caregivers use the supplies already in the home. If something is running low, they can add it to the grocery list.
Not exactly. Our caregivers are there for your loved one first. Housekeeping happens alongside company, meals and help with the day, not instead of it.
