As the weather improves, many people start thinking about doing some spring cleaning to make the whole house smell, look, and feel better. People who are older often want the same things but may struggle to clean and declutter as well as they once did. With in-home care for seniors from Connecticut In-Home Assistance , you or your loved one can enjoy a cleaner, safer home.
Spring cleaning is a good way to start the warmer seasons with a fresh, organized space. Household chores are easy to let go, especially as mundane tasks become difficult with age. Without frequent upkeep, dirty laundry, mail, and garbage can pile up. Eventually, people may find it harder to get around the house or find what they need due to the clutter. That’s why it’s important to plan one or two deep-cleaning and organization sessions throughout the year to keep problems at bay.
When people get older, cleaning, sorting, and organizing can become difficult. Seniors who are dealing with age-related issues may not be able to complete important tasks around the house. Some of these problems include:
Additionally, if an elderly person has a condition related to memory, they might forget about a chore they had started or be unable to remember how to complete the task. In these cases, seniors need help from a family member or trusted professional caregiver .
Fortunately, spring cleaning is not a project that needs to be done in one day, and it does not have to be particularly overwhelming. It is best if a loved one can come into the home and help evaluate the most important chores to work on.
Here are a few key tasks people should consider completing:
