As adults, cleaning the house is just something we have to do. Though, it is something that doesn’t get easier as we get older. In fact, it can become quite challenging for an elderly person to keep their home clean.
You may have found yourself helping out an older relative with their home cleaning from time to time, whether that be your parents, grandparents, aunts or uncles. And while it’s nice to help out, you haven’t got all the time in the world to do this regularly.
That’s why, as part of our growing list of cleaning services, we help out the senior citizens of our local communities with their home cleaning.
Cleaning Services for the Elderly
As we mentioned earlier, home cleaning may not be so easy for an elderly loved one, and so it often falls on the family to help out.
You can help out by taking on the task of cleaning your elderly family member’s home yourself, though this can be tricky with everything else going on in your life. The other option is to seek the help of a professional cleaning company, like Cleaning Queen Ltd.
It has never been easier to arrange a specialist home clean on behalf of your elderly relatives. To start, get in touch with us and we can arrange a cleaning plan that suits you and the needs of your parent/relative.
The Benefits of Home Cleaning Services for the Elderly
It may be difficult for someone to face when they become less able to keep their home clean by themself, but it’s important to know that when they have their own household cleaner, an older person’s life can be made so much easier.
Here are just some of the many benefits of hiring a cleaner for your elderly loved ones.
- Stay in a home they love – If an elderly person is unable to keep their home clean and tidy, the solution may be for them to live in a care home. That means they would have to leave the home that they love and feel most comfortable in. But with their own cleaner, they can stay living in their home.
- Less risk of accidents – As we age, our bodies are more prone to injury and recovery can take longer than it did before. As we all know, home cleaning is no easy task; there is plenty of stretching, bending and other movements involved, and for an elderly person, this action of cleaning could cause an accident. So, let a pro take on the task instead.
- A clean and hygienic home – A clean home is a safe home. When some cleaning tasks become difficult to perform for an older person, it may be the case that the task will go incomplete, which could lead to a hygiene risk. Then, this elderly person becomes at risk of falling seriously ill.
- Hard-to-reach areas handled – Household cleaning can feel like an Olympic sport at times. Alongside the usual scrubbing, washing and mopping, there can also be plenty of heavy lifting, tricky climbing and strenuous exercise involved. This is likely to be very difficult for an elderly person to keep up with, which is why having a cleaner to take on these tasks is ideal.
- Social interaction – Here at Cleaning Queen Ltd, not only are our cleaners amazing at what they do, but they are also incredibly lovely people. We find that plenty of our elderly customers look forward to seeing their assigned cleaner for the social aspect – our cleaners are great company for your elderly relatives.
Housekeeping for Seniors
Keeping a home clean is more than just washing dishes and mopping the floors. Sometimes, some housekeeping is needed, but before you grab your pinny and get started, just know that we can also help with this.
Organising disorderly countertops, decluttering mess and tidying rooms are just some of the things we can help your elderly loved one with. Cleaning Queen’s housekeeping service keeps homes clean, tidy and most importantly, safe.
Regular or One-off Cleaning For Elderly Loved Ones
The great thing about hiring a cleaner is that you are in control of how often you would like your elderly relative’s home cleaned.
With our regular cleaning service, a senior’s home can be cleaned every week, fortnight or month – you choose what’s best for you.
And if you think your relative’s home could do with a simple one-off clean, we can help with this also.
In Conclusion
If you have an elderly relative that you can see they are struggling to stay on top of their home cleaning, then we would like to hear from you.
You can contact us on behalf of your relative and together, we can create a plan of action that will benefit them the most.
