Do you no longer manage to do all the household chores? If so, you may need some help.

How do I stay independent for as long as possible?

Limitations can make it more difficult to manage independently. Even then, it is important to stay active and moving for as long as possible. Do you have trouble walking, bending or your balance? If so, you can seek help from a physical or occupational therapist. Through training and treatment, you may be able to learn to move better again. Are you afraid of falling? Then you can take advantage of a fall prevention course.

Household assistance

Do you no longer manage to do all the household chores? You may need some help. Roommates, family members, neighbors or friends may be able to help you. It is often difficult to ask. They are often willing to help you.
Also consider products that make it easier to do household chores. You can think about a stick vacuum cleaner so you don't have to bend over as much. Or a robotic vacuum cleaner so you almost don't have to vacuum at all. You can also clean your windows with a telescopic handle so you no longer have to stand on kitchen stairs.
You can also use a private domestic help, grocery shopping service, meal service and a window cleaner.
