Activities of daily living (ADLs), as the name suggests, are tasks that are required to sustain an independent existence with a good quality of life. Most young individuals are fully capable of carrying out these tasks on their own. Those with impairments or older folks, on the other hand, may have a more difficult time doing ADLs independently. Here at Caruth Haven Court, we have an Assisted Living program that provides residents with assistance with daily living activities when necessary. Read on to find out more about it.
About Our Daily Senior Living Activities Assistance
While the precise number of ADLs varies depending on who you ask, most experts mention six fundamental daily living activities. The six fundamental ADLs, or physical ADLs concerned with one’s basic needs, are as follows:
- Ambulatory or functional mobility: The ability to move around freely and securely
- Feeding: The act of feeding oneself
- Dressing: The process of putting on clothes and putting together an outfit
- Personal hygiene: The management of personal hygiene components such as bathing, grooming, and tooth brushing
- Continence: The ability to regulate one’s bladder and bowel motions
- Toileting: Includes going to and from the bathroom, using the restroom correctly, and cleaning oneself appropriately
Caruth Haven Court has dedicated staff who provide specialized care to residents who require assistance with such daily living activities.
