Surprise cleaning an elderly woman's house for FREE!

#autistic

An elderly woman who lives in my town fell and broke her arm and hip. While she was in surgery, her niece contacted me to see if I could help her out by cleaning up her house while she was gone. ABSOLUTELY, I will!

I had an unexpected hospital stay in Feb followed by almost 3 weeks in rehab facility & I contracted Covid! The day after I came home both my grown sons were cleaning my apt. Fridge had been done already. They even did my bed linen & vacuumed. I came home on oxygen & so weak I couldn't have done any of that. I couldn't have made it without my boys. They took turns staying with me until Home Health started. I'm so grateful.

I clean for a living, I started for a 90 year old who hadn't cleaned in 15 years since his wife died. Took me awhile but now can go once a month ( his request limited income) and keep it in good order. Floors were the worst I ever cleaned. Once I got his trust we replaced things that were just a mess. He Misses his wife and never thought he would live this long. He is very interesting and I keep him entertained while I'm there. Myself and the lawn guy and instacart are the only people who he sees. No children so he's stuck. It's very satisfying to clean for people who really need help.

I’m in my 70s & my family wonders why I’m trying to minimize my home. I’m going to show them this video and ask them if they want to help me get rid of stuff I don’t need or do they want to wait until I am not here so they have to do it anyway. Senior minimalist.

About 22 years ago, I broke my ankle and could walk or stand. I got around at home on my hands and knees and at work in a wheel chair. Finally, I got disgusted with my dirty apartment and hired a cleaning company. They did a fantastic job and after that, for many years, I hired cleaning companies once a month. They did so much better than I could ever do.

I appreciate the tip you often give about taking a 10-minute break after 50 minutes of cleaning. That really makes a difference.

I'm senior lady with same type of story....hired lady that didn't want to get hands dirty. Quit after 1 day. Medicare wouldn't pay. Was paying $20 hourly. If you hurt with pain and also have depression....cleaning is last on the plate! It truly helps to have support and it brightens a person's life so much to have a cleaner home. It lifts the spirit and I thank you for not putting her down. Bless you!

A good friend broke her hip in November 2022, I went in and cleaned her house so when she came home it would be safe from clutter etc. She had rooms full of “stuff” books, scrapbooking supplies, doll and more. On her own she got family and agencies to pick up and donate the good items to
charities. Don’t judge these people it happens slowly until it become overwhelming and they are embarrassed to ask for help

I love that you differentiate between ADHD, hoarding, being messy, etc. Most people just do not get it, even "experts."

I love how her cats are around watching you! I’m sure they’re thinking our mom is going to be so happy when she gets home!

It is so dangerous to have a cluttered home as one gets older. You did a good thing giving this woman a reset.

I remember a friend and I did this for her friend whose teenage son was killed. While she was out making arrangements and such. We cleaned/scrubbed every room in her house (except son's). Even found some sheers and a nice rug for her dining room at a yard sale on the way to her house, which we cleaned before laying it down. As sad and terrible as it was, she managed to smile at the surprise of being able to have visitors. 😊 We felt like we did the best thing for her during her time of grief. So good job 👏

I'm 74 years old. I did the same thing. I was feeling bad and let things go to being a cluttered mess. In December my arm was broken at the wrist. In January I broke my leg at my ankle. I was away from home until March. I'm still cleaning. I move slowly. I had to make sure I got rid of clutter on the floor.

Besides being an amazing human you’re hilarious too!!!

Cleaning a house in this condition is much tougher than doing a an overgrown lawn. Doing it for free is such a blessing. Inspiring!

Finally a guy that actually takes cleaning seriously, salute to you sir 👏🏻

[lorinelson]

You can tell that you were at this house for many hours just from watching throughout the video the cat and dog becoming more at ease with your presence in their home 😂so sweet!
