It’s Spring Cleaning and Decluttering Time

Remember back in December when we suggested that holiday visits were a good time to take a look around your older loved ones’ homes and talk to them about the support they might need to continue living independently? We mentioned a number of red flags to look for, but here’s something we didn’t mention: the need for deep cleaning and decluttering.

Most of us can benefit from a seasonal tidy-up. But for older people and people with health or mobility concerns, clean and clutter-free living spaces and walkways aren’t just a spring-time thing. They are essential to independent life.
