Tell us about the routine
We walk through the spaces your loved one uses and the tasks that matter most.
Non-medical home care
Light Housekeeping
Help with laundry, dishes and tidying areas used by the client.
A tidy, comfortable space can make home feel calmer and easier to move around in. Light housekeeping focuses on the areas your loved one uses every day, so home stays welcoming without the strain of keeping up with chores.
What’s included
Support shaped around your loved one.
Every task is discussed with your family first and written into the care plan, so expectations are clear and your loved one’s preferences are respected.
Light housekeeping covers areas used by the client. It is not a deep-cleaning or whole-house cleaning service.
- Laundry, folding and putting clothes away
- Washing dishes and tidying the kitchen
- Changing bed linens
- Tidying living areas, bedroom and bathroom used by the client
- Taking out trash and recycling
- Keeping walkways clear and clutter-free
