Chore Services

Home support

Everyday household support

Depending on the program and authorization, chore services may include light cleaning, laundry, basic home organization, and other approved household tasks.

Chore services are separate from personal care and respite care, and are planned according to individual needs and service rules.

A more manageable living environment

Chore support may include light housekeeping, tidying frequently used rooms, laundry, changing linens, washing dishes, and basic organization. The purpose is to make everyday life more manageable—not to replace specialized deep-cleaning, hazardous-material removal, or licensed repair services.

Meal preparation and household routines

Depending on the care plan, caregivers may help plan simple meals, prepare food, organize groceries, and clean the kitchen afterward. Families should communicate food preferences, allergies, and any clinician-directed dietary restrictions.

Shopping and errands

Assistance may include making shopping lists, organizing household supplies, and helping with routine errands. Transportation, purchases, payment handling, and mileage arrangements should be clarified before services begin.

Chore services versus personal care

Chore services focus on the home and household tasks. Personal care focuses on hands-on assistance with the person’s daily activities, such as bathing or dressing. Many clients benefit from a combination, but the services should be clearly identified in the care plan.
