People with disabilities and those who are aging may require assistance related to the activities of daily life ( ADL) . People might have difficulty getting dressed, cooking meals, getting into and out of bed, staying clean, using the bathroom and more.
These challenges do not fall under the heading of health services, but instead might be solved with an in-home care solution. A home health aide or companion service can assist with ADLs to enable seniors to stay in their homes for as long as possible.
