Light housekeeping consists of various routine maintenance tasks, such as laundry, washing dishes, taking out the trash, cleaning used surfaces, making the bed, etc. It helps ensure a clean and safe environment for people with physical and cognitive limitations that limit them in carrying out household tasks.

The approach advocated by the caregiver promotes the maintenance of autonomy by involving the person receiving care in tasks whenever possible. For example, the caregiver can take care of chores that require standing while the person receiving care folds napkins while sitting at the table.

In addition to the physical aspect of maintenance, the Amika caregiver also plays an important role in ensuring the safety of the environment. They can identify and report potential hazards, such as slippery floors, poorly positioned electrical wires, or bulky objects, to reduce the risk of falls.
