Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) refer to the tasks that support an individual's ability to live independently in the community. These activities include managing finances, preparing meals, shopping for groceries, using transportation, and maintaining a safe living environment. IADLs are essential for overall well-being and quality of life. Unlike basic activities of daily living (ADLs), which involve fundamental self-care tasks like bathing and dressing, IADLs require more complex cognitive and physical skills. Assessing a person's ability to perform IADLs can help determine their level of independence and need for support services, such as those provided by caregivers or community programs.
