"Light housekeeping" is one of the most commonly listed services in non-medical home care. It appears on agency websites, in care plans, and in conversations between families and caregivers. But it is also one of the most frequently misunderstood terms in home care, because nobody ever quite defines it. What does light housekeeping actually include? What does it not include? And when a caregiver is balancing personal care, meals, medication reminders, and household tasks in a single shift, how do they decide what to prioritize? This checklist answers all of those questions. It defines the scope of light housekeeping for non-medical home caregivers clearly, organizes tasks by frequency, and gives families and agencies a consistent standard to reference. The checklist includes a frequency tracker so caregivers and supervisors can see at a glance how consistently each task is being completed, and a notes field for anything worth documenting.
