Housekeeping & Home Help For The Elderly
A clean and tidy home can make all the difference to an older person’s health and wellbeing. Our Care Professionals can help with a number of chores and tasks to keep the house in ship shape, taking chores off your plate so you can spend more quality time with your loved one.
What is home help from Home Instead?
Our home help service can support your loved one in looking after their home, by helping with tasks like doing laundry, dusting, vacuuming, putting bins out, ironing, or even feeding family pets. When you are matched with a Care Professional, they will take the time to get to know just how you like things around the house. Some of the benefits of arranging home help include:
- Peace of mind that your loved one’s home is always clean and tidy
- Removing clutter that could be unsafe, or a trip hazard
- More quality time with your loved one that is not spent doing chores
- Companionship during cleaning, and regular check-ins
- Creating a space that your loved one feels more comfortable in
- Reducing your loved one’s workload, allowing them to rest more
How often should an older person have home help?
Your Care Professional can help with as little or as much as you want them to, and can also work alongside your loved one for safety and companionship if they prefer to tend to their own home. Whatever their housekeeping needs, our Care Professionals can personalise a service and routine to suit you. From increased wellbeing to spending more time with family, there are so many benefits to arranging home help. Our service is also a great starting point that allows you to expand to cover more care needs over time, so your loved one can become familiar with their Care Professional and get used to having someone around the home.

FAQs
When should I or my loved one consider using home help care?
If daily household tasks are starting to take longer or becoming more difficult you may want to consider getting assistance. Our Care Professionals can work alongside you or work on the tasks alone, ensuring your home stays clean and tidy.
What happens if my need for home help changes?
Home Instead understand that any care you need can change over time. We will work closely with you to ensure we provide you with as much or as little care and support as you require.
Is there any housework you are unable to do?
Our home help care covers light household tasks which can be carried out during a visit. This would not cover deep cleaning of a client’s home.
