Surveys consistently show that more than 90% of seniors wish to remain in their own homes as they age. However, many face difficulties keeping up with basic household chores.

Help with Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs)

Family Resource is not a dedicated cleaning service, but our housekeeping services in Bellingham do include:

  • Laundry
  • Bed making and linen changes
  • Dusting, vacuuming, and floor care (sweeping/mopping)
  • Cleaning bathrooms and kitchen
  • Taking out the trash
  • Watering plants
  • Help with organizational projects
  • Pet care

Housekeeping is part of the broader category known as Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs). IADLs include the essential skills needed to manage day-to-day life and maintain independence. In addition to the housekeeping services already mentioned, Family Resource Home Care also provides assistance with the following IADLs:

  • Transportation (driving, or navigating public transit)
  • Errands and shopping
  • Preparing meals
  • Using the telephone, computer, television, and other devices

IADLs are distinct from ADLs (Activities of Daily Living). ADLs refer to personal care tasks such as bathing, dressing, toileting, and walking, which are typically learned earlier in life than IADLs. At Family Resource Home Care, we offer services related to ADLs under our Personal Care Services category.

Family Resource’s Housekeeping Services in Bellingham keep seniors safe and healthy in their own home

The team at Family Resource Home Care is committed to providing exceptional housekeeping services in Bellingham that help seniors remain active, independent, and comfortable in their own homes. Our caregivers are experienced and highly qualified, offering attentive, reliable, and compassionate assistance with every task.

How do you establish Housekeeping Services in Bellingham?

At Family Resource Home Care, we place the highest priority on listening to our clients.

Our housekeeping services are often combined with other offerings, such as Companion Care and Personal Care Assistance. We begin with a thorough in-home assessment to determine the most appropriate housekeeping support for your family in Bellingham. Because every client and family has unique needs and priorities, we take the time to fully understand your specific circumstances.

After our conversation and an observation of the home environment, we create a detailed and personalized care plan tailored to you and your family. Since household tasks can become overwhelming, you and our client care supervisor will decide how many hours per week a caregiver should dedicate to housekeeping. The care plan will clearly outline the specific tasks the caregiver will perform during each visit. This ensures clarity and consistency in the support provided.

During this process, we address important details. These details include

  • whether the floors should be mopped every visit,
  • how you prefer your laundry to be done, and
  • whether there are special instructions for caring for the kitchen or any particular items in the home.

Once the plan is finalized, we will assign a skilled caregiver who is carefully matched to your loved one’s needs.

Every Family Resource caregiver is trained and has an insured vehicle to transport your senior loved one to appointments, shopping trips, and social outings. We work exclusively with caregivers who are not only qualified but also genuinely kind and dedicated to the clients they serve.

Our team is committed to ensuring your loved one is satisfied with the care they receive. If adjustments are needed, whether to the care plan or to the assigned caregiver, we will make those changes promptly. If the caregiver, the client, or the family has any questions or concerns, our supervisors are available by phone 24/7 to provide support and guidance.
