Celebrating Seniors’ Independence
As we age, many things change but what doesn’t change is our desire for independence. Many seniors wish to age-in-place but find that they struggle with certain, everyday tasks that once were second nature to them. These tasks, also referred to as Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), can be any of the following:
- Getting dressed or undressed
- Going to the bathroom
- Showering, bathing, washing one’s face, brushing one’s teeth, washing one’s hands, clipping one’s nails or brushing one’s hair
- Eating and preparing meals
- Walking around the house or yard, getting in or out of bed, going up or down the stairs and getting from one place to another
- Driving to run errands or get groceries and bringing those groceries in the house and putting them away
- Housekeeping duties such as laundry, surface cleaning, washing floors, vacuuming, dusting etc.
- Remembering to take medication and keep track of it
Losing the ability to perform basic functions of daily life and struggling with ADLs can be frustrating. No one necessarily likes having to depend on others for help, and no matter how generous family members and/or friends may be, there may come a point where one requires more assistance.
