Small habits, such as one clear surface a week, help. Ongoing support from a doctor, counselor or local group can make progress last. The team can talk through simple upkeep ideas at the end of the job.
Most often the resident or the property owner pays, and family members sometimes share the cost. In a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant. Some local aging services or housing agencies help in some places, so it is worth asking.
