Activities of Daily Living, or ADLs, refer to the basic tasks that individuals typically perform every day to take care of themselves. These activities include essential functions such as bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, and transferring (moving from one position to another). ADLs are crucial for maintaining personal hygiene and overall well-being. Assessing a person's ability to perform ADLs is often used in healthcare settings to determine their level of independence and need for assistance. This evaluation helps caregivers and healthcare professionals create appropriate care plans, ensuring that individuals receive the support they need to maintain their quality of life.
