What Is Senior Housekeeping?
Housekeeping for seniors is a form of lifestyle assistance at Morada Temple that involves our staff performing routine, minor cleaning in your home to keep it in the best shape. These may include:
- Light tidying and cleaning
- Trash removal
- Dusting of surfaces
- Wiping down surfaces in the bathroom
- Cleaning the kitchen of daily messes
These typically occur weekly in most apartments at Morada Temple, with linens handled regularly. However, we will have a brief discussion during our onboarding process, during which you can inform us of any specific requirements. For example, if you need privacy on a particular day, or more regular assistance with cleaning due to regular family visits, we can discuss your needs and what we may be able to do.
At the same time, we also have a maintenance crew in our service. Should anything go wrong with the room we have provided, such as your HVAC or shower, let us know, and we will send help to you as soon as it can get there, and we will keep you updated on their progress.
How Does Housekeeping Help With Care for the Elderly?
With a dedicated cleaning service visiting regularly, you don't need to worry about awkward bends and lifts. Reaching top shelves to dust won't be as daunting if someone else does it for you.
Instead, you can expect someone else to do all these challenging jobs, letting you enjoy your retirement. With our full range of activities and events, you can find something enriching to fill your life, rather than removing mildew from the shower floor.
Meanwhile, one key aspect of such cleanups is keeping the space safe. The aforementioned mildew may not be pleasant to touch, but cleaning it up also reduces the risk of a nasty slip. Similarly, tidying up the floor and removing any clothing clears walkways, preventing trips and falls.
Cleaning an area may also reveal potential hazards people may not have noticed before, such as loose or frayed rugs or electrical hazards. The whole process keeps residents safe in the long term, so they don't need to worry about what could happen when they're too exhausted to tidy up a blanket they used last week.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should an Older Adult Schedule Housekeeping?
At Morada Temple, we schedule housekeeping bi-weekly to help keep dust and dirt in each apartment under control. Our laundering services then follow a similar cycle, though you may need to speak with us in person about the specifics when you move in.
If you need to adjust your timings due to allergies, hay fever, or if you develop a cold or flu, discuss it with our concierge desk service. They can help with details like these, adjusting our expectations to the needs you may discover when you arrive.
What Tasks Are Typically Excluded From Housekeeping for Seniors?
While housekeeping is an incredibly important aspect of senior life to us, it does have its boundaries. For example, it does not include medical care or personal care. Should you require this, you may need to investigate nursing or Assisted Living.
At the same time, our staff have limitations in their capabilities. We are not going to move heavy furniture to clean, and we are not a deep-cleaning company. If you need stains removed from something we provided, we may need to charge for such a service.
Is Tipping Expected or Allowed in a Senior Community?
We understand that tipping is a big part of who we are as Americans. However, it doesn't always happen with our cleaning staff.
If you wish to tip our staff for any reason, you are free to ask. However, please do not be insulted if staff refuse or if our policies change due to legal requirements.
Instead, we are always more than happy to accept notes of gratitude, small thank-you cards, notes showing appreciation that you leave out, or similar. In general, however, confirm with our staff before passing along cash to avoid disappointment.
