Light Housekeeping
Light housekeeping keeps the parts of the home used every day safer and easier to manage: laundry, dishes, linens, trash, bathrooms, and walking paths.
Light housekeeping is not about making the home perfect. It is about keeping the daily living areas safe, usable, and less stressful for the person receiving care.
Small household tasks can affect safety. Laundry on the floor, dishes piling up, trash that is not removed, or clutter in walking paths can make daily routines harder.
Warmheart focuses housekeeping around care-related needs: the rooms being used, the laundry and linens tied to comfort, and the surfaces that affect hygiene and movement.

Is this the same as hiring a cleaning company?
No. Light housekeeping supports home care. It focuses on everyday tasks connected to safety, hygiene, comfort, and daily routines.
Can caregivers do laundry?
Yes. Laundry and linen changes can be part of the care plan when they support the client's daily comfort and routine.
Do caregivers deep clean bathrooms or kitchens?
No. Caregivers can do light cleaning tied to care, but deep cleaning or heavy household work should be handled by a cleaning service.
