Understanding Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and how they impact independence is vital for seniors and individuals with disabilities to maintain their quality of life. ADLs are the basic self-care tasks that most people perform independently. They are essential for maintaining a good quality of life. While many people take these activities for granted, they can become challenging for individuals with certain health conditions, disabilities, or as we age.
Common ADLs include:
- Bathing
- Dressing
- Toileting
- Eating
- Transferring (moving from bed to chair, etc.)
- Continence (bladder and bowel control)
The Importance of ADLs
The ability to perform ADLs independently contributes significantly to a person’s overall well-being, self-esteem, and quality of life. When individuals struggle with ADLs, it can lead to frustration, decreased independence, and increased reliance on others.
