Light Housekeeping and Domestic Duties
Light Housekeeping
Keeping your home clean is important to your health and state of well-being. An unclean environment allows germs to thrive, increasing the likelihood that San Francisco seniors come into contact with harmful bacteria that may have adverse health effects. Aviva Caregivers can assist with preventative measures that reduce any chance of your loved one becoming ill from airborne or contact-based bacteria by performing some light housekeeping tasks.
When your aging or disabled loved one life in a clean and organized home, they enjoy greater feelings of well-being—and even good health. Those germs that linger on countertops and other surfaces need to be disinfected and washed away to prevent bacterial and viral infections. Keeping refrigerators and cupboards free of expired or spoiled foods can avert food-borne illnesses. To avoid fire hazards, stoves, toasters, ovens, and other appliances must be regularly cleaned to avoid a build-up of grease, oils, or crumbs. Because it’s not easy to stay ahead of clutter or clean a home’s nooks and crannies if you’re a senior or disabled, SYNERGY HomeCare’s light housekeeping services can literally be a lifesaver. We make it possible for your aging parent or disabled family member to enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a clean and uncluttered home while leaving all the dirty work to us.
Change Linens
There’s something irresistible about climbing into a bed at night with crisp, clean sheets. And yet changing bed linens can be challenging for seniors and the disabled. As part of our light housekeeping services, our assisted living caregivers will make sure your family member gets into a comfortable, clean bed every night. It’s just what they need for a good night’s sleep.
Kitchen Cleaning & Organization
Keeping a kitchen clean and organized is important to everyone, especially aging parents who still love to cook. Our in-home caregivers can help ensure the safety and cleanliness of your senior parent’s kitchen through light housekeeping services such as consistently cleaning the countertops, running the dishwasher, sweeping floors and putting clean kitchen items back in cupboards and drawers. By eliminating extra pots, plates or other items near the cooking area, it reduces the chances of an accident. By frequently cleaning stoves, toasters, ovens and other appliances, it keeps grease, oils and crumbs from building up and becoming a fire hazard.
