Make Spring Cleaning Easier with Home Care Solutions

There are many precautions you or a professional caregiver can take to ensure your loved one stays safe during the spring cleaning process:

• Before the cleaning even starts, come up with a plan of action. Include your senior parent as much as possible; after all, this is their home.
• Speak with other family members and loved ones and see if they can come by and lend a helping hand. This hits two birds with one stone as you will help improve your loved one’s living conditions while also giving them an opportunity to socialize with individuals they may not see so often.
• Make sure to include your parent in all steps of the process. This will not only help you in the cleaning, but it will also ensure they are staying active throughout the day, which is a major plus.
• Getting rid of clutter should always be a top priority as it can be dangerous for older adults.
• Go through all of the food and medication in your loved one’s home and make sure nothing has expired. Doing so will help ensure your loved one is not getting into any dangerous situations.
• Spring cleaning is an excellent opportunity to make sure all of the safety precautions in your loved one’s home are up to par. Take this time to check fire alarms, the stability of grab bars and make sure carbon monoxide detectors are in working condition.
