activities, empowering them to maintain their independence and well-being within the comfort of their own homes.
Housekeeping tasks encompass a wide range of activities that contribute to a healthy and comfortable living space. These can include:
- Cleaning: Dusting, vacuuming, sweeping, mopping, and cleaning bathrooms and kitchens.
- Laundry: Washing, drying, folding, and putting away clothes and linens.
- Meal Preparation: Planning, preparing, and serving nutritious meals, as well as assisting with grocery shopping.
- Organizing: Tidying up living areas, decluttering, and ensuring a safe and accessible environment.
- Minor Home Maintenance: Changing light bulbs, taking out the trash, and other small tasks.
The inability to manage these tasks can have a significant impact on an individual's physical and mental health. A cluttered or unclean environment can increase the risk of falls, exacerbate respiratory issues, and contribute to feelings of stress and isolation. Similarly, struggling with meal preparation can lead to poor nutrition and related health problems.
