Free Assessments
Activities of daily living (ADLs) encompass the fundamental tasks individuals must perform daily to maintain self-care. These tasks span bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, mobility, and eating. Additionally, there are instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), which are crucial for independent living, such as managing finances, shopping, meal preparation, and medication management.
Assessing an individual's ability to carry out ADLs and IADLs is pivotal in determining their required level of care and the suitable senior living community. For instance, if someone necessitates assistance with most or all ADLs, a higher level of care, such as that provided by a Boarding Care facility, may be warranted. Conversely, if someone can manage most ADLs independently or with minimal aid, an Assisted Living arrangement might be more fitting. Alternatively, if someone can perform all ADLs independently but requires help with some IADLs, an independent living community with additional services like housekeeping, transportation, and meal preparation could be suitable.
It's crucial to recognize that senior living communities differ in their offerings, with some specializing in specific needs or health conditions. A comprehensive assessment of an individual's ADLs and IADLs helps pinpoint unique care requirements, matching them with a senior living community that can provide tailored care and services.
