You will quickly find that each assisted living community that you decide to visit will provide different services. It may depend on what your loved one needs help with and some of the services that the community thinks their residents will need the most assistance with. But one of the benefits of choosing to move your elderly loved one into an assisted living facility rather than letting them continue to live at home is that they can get some help with daily chores. 

 

Your elderly loved one will quickly notice that less housework will equal less stress. And most assisted living communities will include some of the basics of housekeeping in the cost of the rent. This will help to take some of the stress off the residents and provide them with more free time to go to some of the social activities and have fun, rather than worrying about some of the tasks that need done around their new living spaces. 

 

Some of the different cleaning services that an assisted living facility can offer to their residents to help them have more happiness, well-being, and health include:

 

# Light dusting and vacuuming. The resident may be responsible for a more thorough cleaning, but since this is done on a regular basis, it can suffice.
# Bed making and even helping to wash some of the blankets and sheets. 

# Cleaning up the bathroom and the kitchen if there is one in the unit the resident calls their own.
# The beautification and maintenance of the apartment to keep it looking amazing. 

 

If there are some specific tasks that you think your loved one will need help with here, then it is a good idea to bring this up and check into it when you do a tour. The staff will be able to discuss some of these with you and determine whether that is something that they are able to provide. Sometimes they can and sometimes they can’t, so be aware of this ahead of time.
