Having trouble with balance and weak legs. I cannot carry anything and walk with a cane.

Find Care & Housing
I agree that if you haven't already done so, to get this checked with your primary care physician.

I also agree that Nextdoor.com is a good place to start to find volunteers to help with your chores.

Care.com for hired aids.

Also you local Area Agency on Aging for resources, as well as social services for your county to see if you qualify for some in-home help.

For cleaning a once a month service like Molly Maids or Merry Maids will cost around $60 or $70 for a smaller home.

This is basically someone you would hire?
I would start with apps such as NextDoor.
I would ask in MD office if they have suggestions.
You might also try such apps as care.com and such companies as Visiting Angels. Do understand that the latter often is an agency and you will be paying both the agencies and the caregivers. That adds in cost. But they are more fully vetted. Some of them also have minimums such as three days a week four hours a day. That adds to cost.

Welcome and best wishes.
