The aging process may make even the most basic chores difficult to do. Taking care of the house is one job that might becoming more challenging for adults over the age of 65. It might be difficult to clean shelves and eliminate debris from pathways if you have mobility issues. If your loved one has a disease like dementia that impairs their memory and cognition, they may also forget to run the dishwasher or remove clothes from the washing machine. Your loved one may have reached the point where they need assistance if they have dirty dishes building up in the sink, stains on the countertops or clutter on the floor.

At Visiting Angels Havertown, we provide elderly and disabled adults in Havertown, Wayne, Bryn Mawr, Wynnewood, Broomall and the surrounding areas of Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia Counties many options for in-home care. One of these options is assisting seniors with light housekeeping tasks. Our caregivers can help your loved one clean up and organize their home and improve their quality of life.

How Havertown-Area Seniors Benefit from Help with Light Housekeeping from Visiting Angels

When living alone, keeping the home tidy is critical for seniors. It helps older people maintain their health while also keeping them safe.

High-touch surfaces like doorknobs and stair railings, as well as frequently worn items, may harbor a large number of germs that can be reduced with a thorough cleaning of the home. This can help keep your loved one from getting sick, which is important since getting older can weaken the immune system.

Keeping the home clean on a regular basis also reduces the danger of falls, which is especially important for the elderly. Seniors are particularly vulnerable to serious accidents such as broken bones and concussions if they lose their footing on cluttered paths or in puddles on the floor. This may result in a lengthy period of rehabilitation or possibly the loss of one's freedom.

Light cleaning services from a professional caregiver at Visiting Angels Havertown may be helpful if your loved one is having trouble with keeping their home tidy. As part of our commitment to the safety and comfort of our clients, we provide light housekeeping as part of our home care options.
