Cooking and Household
Tasks
Problems with undertaking all
daily living tasks including
cooking and household chores
arise for many reasons.
They are closely linked to
other health problems. For
example, people with
congestive heart failure or
pulmonary (lung) disease may
lack the physical endurance or
stamina to manage household
tasks like:
•
Cooking a meal
•
Doing laundry
•
Changing bed clothes
•
Shopping
•
Cleaning and other
household tasks
•
Don’t Worry We Can Help
There are many practical and

Confidence to Raise and Support Yourself in Comfort and Safety

movements of the hands and arms needed for routine daily tasks.

These problems are often a matter of degree, for example, a person
may be able to eat independently except for cutting food or handling
liquids without spilling them.
