As we age, the simple tasks we once took for granted can become increasingly challenging. For many seniors, performing everyday Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, toileting, and eating becomes more difficult due to physical limitations, health conditions, or the natural effects of aging.
For seniors, the ability to perform ADLs independently can greatly impact their sense of independence and confidence. However, as mobility decreases or when health conditions such as arthritis, dementia, or Parkinson’s disease affect daily function, completing ADLs can become a struggle.
Having a personal care assistant is crucial for seniors to carry on living in the comfort of their own homes, while not sacrificing the basic activities necessary to go about daily life.
