Light housekeeping
Light housekeeping involves various routine maintenance tasks such as laundry, dishwashing, taking out the trash, cleaning surfaces, making the bed, and more. It ensures a clean and safe environment for individuals with physical and cognitive limitations that restrict their ability to perform regular household chores.
The approach advocated by the Caregiver emphasizes independence by involving the senior in the tasks to the extent they are able and comfortable. For example, the Caregiver can take care of tasks that require standing while the senior folds towels while seated.
In addition to the physical aspects of housekeeping, Amika Caregivers also play an important role in ensuring the safety of the home environment. They can identify and report potential hazards, such as slippery floors, improperly positioned electrical cords, or cluttered objects, to reduce risk of falling.
The typical duration of our light housekeeping service is 1 to 3 hours. It is generally part of our more comprehensive range of home care services, such as meal assistance, assistance with physical exercises and maintaining activity levels, as well as transportation and shopping assistance. It can also be incorporated into a routine with other morning and evening activities, including help with personal hygiene, dressing, and assistance for getting in and out of bed.
Our rates vary depending on the duration of the visit and the geographical area. Whether you need our services for an hour or entire days, our team of Caregivers is there to support you.
Financial assistance is available for all our services. Feel free to contact us to learn more about our rates and financial aid options.
