Healthy spring cleaning tips for seniors

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - It's still this time of year for the spring cleaning .

While many people are happy to get rid of old clothes and furniture that accumulate in their homes, spring cleaning can be a bit overwhelming for the elderly.

Sandy Quartuccio from Right at Home came to us on Sunday to help families help their seniors in the spring.

Here is a list of things that Quartuccio recommends for beginners:

• Check the kit: Make sure your older person is taking the right pills and discarding any bottle that may be empty or expired. You can also buy a new pill organizer to make sure it stays at the same level as your medications.
• Transparent Bridges: Cold weather can cause older people to stay indoors and therefore accumulate in boxes, bags and other household items. Be sure to recycle all the old boxes and clean the aisles and entrances from anything that might be in your supervisor's life.
• Focus on kitchens and bathrooms: The older the elderly, the more difficult it is to clean key areas such as kitchen sinks or bathroom floors. Remember to install handholds in the tub, shower and near the toilet, and check the refrigerator to make sure expired or expired food is discarded.
