Assistance with Activities of Daily Living
Eating
Eating refers to one’s ability to feed themselves but not their ability to prepare meals. Assistance can range from just cutting up food, to pureeing their meals, or to ultimately feeding the client.
Bathing
Personal hygiene includes grooming, bathing or showering, oral care, and nail care. Assistance may range from Stand-By (being there in case the client feels unsteady getting in or out of the shower, or if they may need unanticipated help during their shower) to Hands-On (where the caregiver may wash a client’s back and feet to thoroughly bathing the client).
Dressing
Independent dressing is the ability of the client to make appropriate clothing choices and physically dress or undress. Assistance on any level constitutes Hands-On Assistance, like helping them pick a summer out ft when they want to wear heavy pants and a winter sweater.
