Light Housekeeping

Dusting open surfaces; sweeping and mopping floors (damp mops – small areas and hard surface floors); wiping down counters; washing and putting away dishes; cleaning bathrooms and kitchens; taking out the trash; changing sheets and making the bed; and organizing drawers, shelves, and closets are all examples of light housekeeping tasks. The client's bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, and living room are the only rooms where light housekeeping is performed. Light housekeeping is provided as part of a senior's overall Service Plan to help him or her remain secure and independent in their own home.
