Tips for Gardening and Housekeeping with Mobility Issues

If you or someone you care for has mobility issues, staying active and independent can be a challenge. Many people want to maintain their housekeeping routines, or to continue enjoying their garden despite difficulties. Here at Help to You, we help to give you the extra support you need to continue engaging with life while removing some of the stress and anxiety that coping with household tasks can bring.

Some tips to help make things easier

Tip 1
An effective strategy in carrying out housekeeping duties involves taking things slow and pacing yourself. Spreading out your tasks across a week and limiting yourself to a few tasks a day is more efficient than attempting to fulfill all of your duties on a given day. Take breaks and be satisfied with your daily progress.

Tip 2

If you have back pain or are frail, you may experience issues with maneuvering a heavy vacuum cleaner. Those ultra-light stick vacuum cleaners such as a Kogan C7 Cordless or a Dyson V7 Cord-free vacuum are a perfect solution. Due to their light and easy mobility nature, they are operational with only the use of one hand. This makes them perfect for those individuals with mobility aids such as crutches or canes.

Tip 3

Another household cleaning tip includes robotic vacuum cleaners! Robotic cleaners have come a long way in recent years are perfect in cleaning your floors with minimal physical work. These vacuum cleaners operate themselves and are great for wheelchair or less mobile users as they can be programmed to work whilst you are out and or in bed, ensuring that you won’t risk tripping over them.
