Housekeeping and house cleaning services for elderly can mean anything the individual client needs our caregivers to do. There is no one-size-fits-all senior care solution or routine that we stick to for every client. Instead, we work closely with our clients and their loved ones to come up with housekeeping services that are ideal for each client’s unique needs, abilities, and inabilities. Our goal is not just to clean our client’s home. It’s to find out what would make each client’s life easier. If that’s help sorting through junk mail and paying bills, that’s what we’ll do. If it’s taking a carload of old clothing to Goodwill, we’ll handle that as well. Sometimes it’s something as simple as recommending that a client with arthritis switch from a hand-held can opener to an electric one. We do what needs to be done to improve our client’s daily standard of living – pure and simple.
