Engage in conversation with someone close to you

Perhaps family, neighbors or friends are willing to help. Many people are happy to help, but don't know you need help. Make it negotiable. They may be able to support with tasks that don't need to be done every week, but do recur periodically.

Organize the household differently

For example, try:

• Distribute tasks throughout the week
• Create a simple cleaning schedule
• To do only what is really necessary

Assistive devices can make a difference to household life

There are helpful tools that make the job easier, such as:

• A long-handled robotic vacuum cleaner or feather duster
• A gripper to pick up something without bending over
• A mattress topper for easier bed making
• Comforter and comforter cover all in one.
• Clothespins with sliding function, washing machine riser
• A mop with a wringing mechanism
• A kneeling or sitting bench for the garden or bathroom

• Laundry and ironing service
• Window Cleaning Service
• Paid household help (private)
