What is Domestic Assistance?

Domestic assistance is an important service provided in retirement villages to support residents with their daily household tasks. Domestic assistance can include tasks such as cleaning, laundry, ironing, grocery shopping, and meal preparation. These services can be provided by trained staff employed by the retirement village, or through contracted external providers.

Domestic assistance is especially important for older adults who may have physical limitations or health conditions that make it difficult to perform these tasks themselves. It can also provide peace of mind for residents and their families, knowing that these important tasks are being taken care of.

In addition to the practical benefits of domestic assistance, it can also have a positive impact on residents' mental health and wellbeing. By having a clean and tidy living space and healthy meals provided, residents may feel more relaxed and content in their homes. The social aspect of receiving domestic assistance can also be valuable, as it provides an opportunity for residents to interact with staff and build relationships within the community.

Domestic assistance is an essential service provided in retirement villages, supporting residents to maintain their independence and quality of life.
