The Significance of ADL’s for In-home Care
Activities of Daily Living, or ADL, are the basic self-care tasks that people need to perform every day to live independently. These tasks are often used as an indicator of when a person needs assistance at home and their specific needs for in-home care.
A Better Solution offers a complimentary consultation and ADL assessment to determine how we can assist by creating a personalized care plan. Our plans can be continually adjusted as the person’s needs evolve, which is why it is so important to be proactive when seeking care.
Please call us if your loved one is struggling with one or more of these primary ADLs:
Bathing – Maintaining personal hygiene, washing the body and hair
Dressing – Selecting and putting on appropriate clothing
Toileting – Using the bathroom and maintaining cleanliness
Transferring – Moving safely from bed to chair or standing up
Continence – Controlling bladder and bowel function
Eating – Feeding oneself independently
Our trained and vetted caregivers will provide the highest quality care for your loved one, enabling them to continue living comfortably in their own home rather than relocating to a facility. The support that in-home caregivers provide is not only to keep clients clean and safe, but also to preserve their dignity and autonomy. Recognizing when help is needed with daily living activities can be a challenging first step, but it is a crucial step in obtaining the right level of care at the right time.
A Better Solution offers a compassionate and personalized solution, allowing your loved one to age or recover in the comfort of their own home. Please call us today at 208-285-2353 and let us guide your loved one toward safe, dignified support at home.
