Beth Sconfienza, founder of Senior Home Services

Senior Home Services is dedicated to the support of elderly and disabled clients with light housekeeping and chore services. Although there are many home cleaning and maintenance services, Senior Home Services, based in Albany and serving Albany and Renssselaer Counties, is specifically dedicated to serving the needs of the elderly and disabled population. Services include cleaning, vacuuming, and running errands. These are things that many people require in order to stay in thier homes.

Why Seniors Need Help

There are many tasks that the elderly and disabled cannot perform that limits their abilities to say in the community. In a clinical setting, these are often considered activities of daily living (ADLs). Tasks that are not central to personal physical function but that are central to daily living in the community are the instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). Specifically, ADLs include

• Bathing
• Dressing
• Grooming (personal hygiene)
• Transferring from bed or chair (mobility)
• Toilet use
• Eating

IADLs include

• Housework/Cleaning/Laundry
• Food/Clothes shopping (regardless of transport)
• Use of the telephone (look up numbers, dial, answer)
• Traveling via car or public transportation
• Meal preparation
• Medication use (preparing and taking correct dose)
• Management of money (write checks, pays bills)

Senior Home Services offers service to assist with two of the IADLs: Housework/Cleaning/Laundry and Food/Clothes shopping.
