Understanding ADLs and IADLs
Beacon Home Care can assist with all ADLs (Activities of Daily Living). To keep it simple, ADLs are basic self-care tasks (bathing, dressing, eating) necessary for fundamental survival, while IADLs (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living) are more complex tasks (managing finances, cooking, shopping) needed to live independently. Both are used by our caregivers to assess care needs.
