What to know before hiring a caregiver for housekeeping
Housekeeping help is non-medical and often comes alongside companionship or meal help. Heavy cleaning, deep cleaning, moving furniture and yard work are usually separate jobs, so say in your posting exactly what you need.
Keeping floors clear and the home well lit is part of preventing falls, which the CDC counts as the leading cause of injury for adults 65 and older (CDC).
Questions to ask
- Which household tasks will you do, and which not?

Senior Housekeeping: common questions
Is a housekeeper the same as a caregiver?
Not always. A housekeeper cleans; a caregiver may also give company, meals and personal care. Many caregivers on CaregiverConnect do light housekeeping as part of their visits.
How often do seniors need housekeeping help?
Many families start with a weekly visit and add more if laundry, cooking or personal care are needed too.
