Light Housekeeping for Seniors in Richmond, VA and Nearby Areas
You may have lately realized that your senior loved one's home is not as clean or tidy as it once was. They may also be bothered by the increase in dirt, grime and clutter; however, they may have trouble with taking care of the mess due to age-related cognitive and mobility issues making it more difficult to maintain the cleanliness of their home. As a family caregiver, you want to help Mom or Dad as much as you can so they can live out their golden years in comfort and safety, but if you have other obligations or live too far away, you may not be available to help your loved one with household maintenance.
While you can choose to work with a maid or hire a professional cleaner who can periodically perform general cleaning of your loved one’s place, Visiting Angels Richmond can offer you a much better solution. Our experienced caregivers have provided a plethora of in-home care services, including helping with light housekeeping and other activities of daily living, for seniors in Richmond, Mechanicsville, Glen Allen and surrounding communities in Henrico and Hanover Counties since 2007. We are dedicated to enabling your loved one to continue living safely, comfortably and independently in the home they love so much.

How Our Home Care Services Help Seniors in Richmond, VA and Surrounding Areas with Light Housekeeping Tasks
One benefit of working with professional senior care providers from Visiting Angels Richmond is that your loved one will have someone who will ensure the cleanliness of the environment where they spend most of their time – their home. A regularly cleaned house is free of germs, bacteria, allergens and other things that can otherwise jeopardize the already frail health of aging adults, especially those living with a chronic illness that further impacts their immune system.
Additionally, as falls present a major health risk for all those seniors who continue to live independently at home, our home care services include safety recommendations for fall risk reduction, too. Cluttered walkways, slippery surfaces and other in-home hazards can increase the likelihood of your loved one tripping and falling. However, when we assist with light housekeeping, we can clear these common hazards and make it easier and safer for your loved one to get from room to room.
At Visiting Angels Richmond, we can provide your mom or dad with the following light housekeeping services:
- Vacuuming
- Dusting
- Laundering
- Cleaning countertops
- Making the beds
- Regularly changing the sheets and linens
- Taking out trash
- And much more
Although we will be more than happy to help with a wide range of routines, our light housekeeping services do not involve strenuous tasks like moving furniture, cleaning carpets, scrubbing floors, washing windows, mowing grass and other heavy-duty activities. Instead, our home care services focus only on assisting in those areas of home that are vital for your loved one’s overall health and well-being.
While our light housekeeping services are helpful for seniors who need help with household maintenance due to typical age-related issues, there are many other circumstances where older adults in the Richmond area can benefit from our home care services. For example, if your loved one is recovering from a surgical procedure and has limited mobility, they may not be physically able to sweep the floors, dust shelves and countertops or do laundry. Luckily, when Visiting Angels Richmond assists seniors who are recovering at home, one of the tasks we help out with is light housekeeping.
Apart from keeping their home neat and tidy, our Angel companions – that is what we call our caregivers – will be there to provide your loved one with meaningful conversation and loving companionship and make continuous efforts to improve their quality of life in every way possible. Our home care services can be personalized to fit your loved one's schedule so they can continue to enjoy their everyday routine while living in a clean and tidy home.
