Housekeeping

Cleaning the home can be a challenge for people living with physical limitations. Seniors may find some of their day-to-day housework difficult to carry out. Tasks that involve lifting or moving heavy objects, and maintaining uncomfortable body postures can all be difficult and even dangerous for the elderly.

As people age and undergo normal physiological changes in different parts of their bodies, performing normal daily tasks can become a challenge. Elderly people are also more likely to suffer from various health conditions, such as arthritis, osteoporosis, heart and lung problems and other conditions that could affect their mobility, physical strength, and stamina.

Seniors might avoid some household tasks such as dusting, tidying up, washing the dishes, cleaning rooms, countertops, toilets, and bathrooms due to their physical limitations (or mental health issues such as memory deficits, depression,  Alzheimer's disease, or dementia). This could create an unhygienic or unsafe living environment for them, which causes them to be more prone to various illnesses, falls, fractures, and other problems.
