Advice for getting a cleaner and a social services care assessment

hi im knew on this site, came across it on another discussion about cleaning.
im wondering if i could get some advice about hiring a cleaner, im completely ignorant to it.
i have end stage kidney disease and on dialysis, i also suffer with osteomalacia, so i have restricted mobility, and complex symptoms varying degrees of pain stiffness and weakness in many parts of my body. I live in my flat with my 18 yr old son who works everyday, and i am not able to keep up with my cleaning duties due to my symtpoms. only time i can do some cleaning is if i take a cocktail of pain relief and i don't want to keep doing that as it not good for my kidneys.
i appreciate anykind of advice or feedback that could direct me in hiring a cleaner and if it would be worth getting a social services care assessment, has anyone had any experiences regarding these, i would love to hear from them. I am a very anxious, nervous person and have difficulty with people as i have social phobia so that's why i have come on this site for some advice.

I wish you well, and hope things start to get better soon.

i don't remember if i replied if i didnt i apologise, i was away for a while due to my condition and symtpoms, about the housing post im still debating what to do about it. i may if i can afford just an hours cleaning a week do it myself with a private contractor out of my carers money since my recent carer is no longer available due to separation.
i can clean sometimes but other times if dialysis is a bad treatment session time i get absolutely exhausted or it could be something else like inflammation in my leg from osteomlacia, or clinical depression where my motivation just isn't there from so much to deal with.
thanks for your input i appreciate it, hope all is well with yourself
take care

just rechecked the post was it about the wet room getting done, i cant find the post, silly me still primitive on computer. i was going to get my wet room done well updated but it hasn't been done yet, again housing is telling me to go to occupational therapist and occupational therapist is telling me to go to housing. it was housing that sent me the letter in the first place saying that occupational therapist insisted that my wet room was inspected to make sure its efficient for my disabilities, i been going round in circles got so tiring i give up in the end.
thinking about it now i think i will make a report about my shower its absolutely useless, the pressure is so low u cant have a decent shower in it and also its stuck to the wall and if im feeling really bad and sitting having a shower i cant remove it to have the shower lower so annoying so im gonna call them today about it
just as well i checked in today getting me something that needs doing that's been forgotten lol xx
again take care have a nice day
sakinah xx
