Homemaker services

Staying home only works if the home stays livable. Homemaker service covers the running of the household when someone can no longer keep up with it — the laundry, the cooking, the floors, the groceries.

It is practical work, and it is often what a family notices first. When the refrigerator holds nothing but condiments and the laundry has piled up, that is usually the signal that living independently has quietly stopped.

What is included

• Light housekeeping and tidying
• Laundry and changing linens
• Meal planning and cooking
• Washing up and kitchen cleaning
• Grocery shopping
• Errands and prescription pickup
• Taking out rubbish
• Keeping walkways clear to prevent falls

Homemaker service helps when

• Housework has become physically too hard
• Meals are being skipped or are all packaged
• Laundry and dishes are piling up
• Clutter has become a tripping hazard
• Family are driving over every weekend to catch up

Homemaker service pairs naturally with companion care, and many clients start with a few hours twice a week.
