What to Do if an Adult Can’t Perform ADLs?

If a loved one is struggling with ADLs, it’s important to take action early to prevent further decline or potential safety hazards. Here’s what you can do:

  1. Assess the Situation:
    Identify which tasks are challenging and whether assistance is needed occasionally or consistently.
  2. Consider Home-Based Support:
    Professional caregivers can provide essential daily assistance while allowing individuals to remain in the comfort of their home.
  3. Make Safety Modifications:
    Installing grab bars, improving lighting, and removing tripping hazards can help prevent accidents.
  4. Encourage Independence:
    Providing the right level of assistance without taking away independence is key to maintaining dignity and self-confidence.
  5. Seek Professional Care:
    If ADLs become too difficult to manage alone, wellness centers like Fox Chase can offer personalized support tailored to individual needs.
