Help for Aging Seniors

As seniors live out their golden years many are looking for ways to live independently in their homes for as long as they possibly can.  At some point the task of doing the laundry, which was once easily performed, becomes too rigorous for them to engage in safely.  The National Council on Aging reports that every 11 seconds, an older adult is treated in an emergency room for a fall.*    Seniors are particularly vulnerable to falls if they are living in a home in which the laundry appliances are not on the same floor as their bedroom.  This arrangement requires them to go up and down stairways with loads of laundry in their hands, at a time in their life when their reduced mobility increases the likelihood of a serious fall.

A serious fall can leave an older adult physically disabled and financially strained. Sometimes it is hard for our seniors to recognize that they need help when they have done their own laundry for so many years.  Some may see laundry service as an unnecessary expense. However, the personal and financial costs of a serious fall far exceed the cost of laundry service.

At Laundry Reimagined we are proud to serve our elderly clients who are living independently in their homes.  Our laundry service allows them to get their laundry done in a safe and cost-effective manner and help extend the time that they can live independently in their homes.

After doing laundry for all of their life, shouldn’t there be a time when seniors are able to retire from the task of doing laundry? We think it makes a lot of sense to get our seniors the help they need. We at Laundry Reimagined understand the needs of our seniors and are happy to provide the service they need to live out their golden years in style!
