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.
Questions worth asking: Which household tasks will you do, and which not? Do you bring your own supplies? Can you combine housekeeping with company or meals? More in our senior housekeeping guide.
