A well-maintained home can help you to stay in better health and avoid accidents.
A well-maintained home can help you to stay in better health and avoid accidents, whilst the garden is often a sanctuary for many people and can help with mental wellbeing. However, looking after your home, garden and doing housework can be difficult, especially if you have a health or physical condition.
Being able to clean your home and launder clothes can become difficult if you’re living with a health condition, but there is equipment available that might help you with these tasks.
Some things you can do now to help yourself:
If you’re struggling to keep up with tasks that need doing around the home and garden, you may be able to get help with smaller jobs from some voluntary organisations. There may be a small charge or you might be asked for a donation.
For larger jobs you may need to hire a tradesman. When hiring someone new, always check their previous work. You can do this by asking for personal recommendations from family and friends or by looking at their testimonials and internet ratings.
If you live in a housing association home or rent from a private landlord, then they’re responsible for keeping the house maintained and you should contact them directly for anything that needs doing.
