Frequently Asked Questions

What does housekeeping include in a care setting?
Housekeeping services in a residential or care facility ensure a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for residents. This typically includes daily or weekly cleaning of living spaces, dusting, vacuuming, mopping floors, sanitizing surfaces, and taking out the trash. Bathrooms and kitchens are cleaned and disinfected regularly to prevent the spread of germs. Housekeeping also ensures common areas remain tidy and hazard-free, reducing fall risks. The goal is to maintain hygiene while also creating a welcoming and organized living space.
How often should housekeeping be done?
Housekeeping is typically performed on a daily or weekly basis, depending on the resident’s needs and the facility’s schedule. High-traffic areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, and communal spaces often require daily cleaning to maintain sanitation. Personal rooms may be cleaned several times a week or as needed. Deep cleaning, which includes tasks such as carpet shampooing, window washing, and furniture dusting, is scheduled periodically to ensure a consistently clean environment.
Do assisted living residents need to provide their own cleaning supplies?
No, residents do not need to provide their own cleaning supplies. The facility supplies all necessary cleaning products and equipment, including mops, vacuums, disinfectants, and trash bags. However, if a resident has allergies or sensitivities to specific cleaning products, they can request alternative solutions. The staff ensures that all cleaning supplies meet health and safety standards and are appropriate for use in a care setting. Personal preferences can sometimes be accommodated upon request.
Can housekeeping staff assist with decluttering and organizing personal items?
Yes, housekeeping staff can assist with basic decluttering and organization of personal belongings within a resident’s room or living space. They can help arrange clothing, tidy up shelves, and ensure that frequently used items are within easy reach. However, major reorganizations, furniture rearrangements, or disposal of personal items typically require family involvement. The goal of housekeeping in this aspect is to create a clean, safe, and accessible environment while respecting residents’ personal space and preferences.
Is housekeeping available 24/7 in case of spills or urgent cleaning needs?
While routine housekeeping follows a set schedule, staff are available for urgent cleaning situations. If a spill occurs, if a room requires immediate attention, or if an accident happens that affects cleanliness, caregivers or on-call housekeeping staff can respond quickly. This ensures that the living environment remains sanitary and safe at all times. Emergency housekeeping is especially important for infection control and preventing falls or other safety hazards caused by spills or clutter.
