Homemaker Services

A clean, orderly home is easier to live in safely. Homemaker services take some of the weight of household tasks off the person and their family.

What this support looks like

Homemaker services provide light housekeeping and household management support in the person's home. The goal is a safe, comfortable living environment — and, wherever possible, helping the person do as much as they can themselves rather than doing it for them.

Examples of daily activities

  • Light cleaning — sweeping, dusting, wiping counters, cleaning bathrooms
  • Laundry and changing bed linens
  • Meal planning, grocery list help, and light meal preparation
  • Washing dishes and putting groceries away
  • Taking out trash and recycling
  • Sorting mail and keeping household paperwork organized

These are illustrations, not a fixed list. Support is planned with the person and may differ from what's shown here.

Person-centered benefits

  • A safer home with fewer hazards and less clutter
  • Reduces the strain of housework on the person and their family
  • Supports health and hygiene routines
  • Builds household skills the person can keep using

Eligibility for this service is determined through a person's assessment, authorization, and funding. Lakeland Health Services does not guarantee waiver eligibility, payment coverage, or specific outcomes.
