As time passes, many older adults or individuals recovering from illness begin to find daily tasks more challenging than before. What once felt routine — getting dressed, preparing meals, or bathing — can become difficult to manage alone. That’s where A Better Solution Home Care steps in. Through our compassionate Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) support, we help seniors and individuals with special needs maintain their independence, dignity, and quality of life in the comfort of their own homes.
What Are Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)?
Activities of Daily Living, or ADLs, are the essential self-care tasks that people perform every day to maintain personal well-being and independence. These activities are the foundation of daily life — and when they become difficult, a little professional assistance can make a big difference.
ADLs are commonly divided into two categories:
1. Basic Activities of Daily Living (BADLs)
These are the fundamental personal care tasks, including:
-
Bathing and showering
-
Dressing and grooming
-
Eating and feeding
-
Mobility (walking or transferring between surfaces)
-
Toileting and continence care
2. Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs)
These are more advanced skills that allow individuals to live independently, such as:
-
Managing medications
-
Cooking and meal preparation
-
Cleaning and household management
-
Handling money and paying bills
-
Shopping for groceries and essentials
-
Arranging transportation or using public transit
At A Better Solution Home Care, our caregivers are trained to assist with both categories of activities of daily living, offering support tailored to each person’s specific needs.
Why ADLs Matter for Seniors and Families
The ability to perform daily living activities often determines whether a person can remain independent or requires additional care. When these tasks become challenging, it can affect not only physical health but also emotional well-being and self-confidence.
That’s why our ADL services are so important — they provide the right balance between assistance and independence. Our caregivers step in to help with difficult tasks while encouraging clients to stay as active and self-reliant as possible.
Here are a few key benefits of ADL support:
-
Improved Safety: Professional caregivers help reduce the risk of falls and accidents during daily routines like bathing, dressing, or cooking.
-
Better Hygiene and Health: Regular assistance with grooming, bathing, and medication reminders ensures clients stay healthy and comfortable.
-
Peace of Mind for Families: Knowing that your loved one has reliable care gives families comfort and reassurance.
-
Enhanced Emotional Well-Being: Companionship and daily interaction with a trusted caregiver reduce feelings of loneliness or isolation.
-
Preserved Independence: With the right level of support, seniors can continue to make their own choices and maintain control over their lives.
At A Better Solution Home Care, we view ADL care as more than physical assistance — it’s about empowering individuals to live with dignity and joy.
Personalized ADL Care Tailored to Each Individual
Every person’s lifestyle, abilities, and needs are unique. That’s why A Better Solution Home Care creates customized care plans for every client. We take the time to understand what tasks require assistance, what routines are important, and how to make daily life more comfortable and fulfilling.

-

How A Better Solution Home Care Promotes Independence
At A Better Solution Home Care, we believe that needing help doesn’t mean losing independence. Our approach to activities of daily living focuses on encouragement and participation. We empower seniors to do as much as they can on their own, providing just the right amount of support where it’s needed.
For example, if a client wants to dress independently but struggles with buttons or shoes, our caregiver assists only when necessary — promoting confidence while ensuring safety. This method helps clients retain a sense of control, maintain their abilities, and continue living life with dignity.
Our caregivers are also trained to provide emotional encouragement, engage clients in conversation, and help them stay mentally active. We understand that independence isn’t just about physical movement — it’s about feeling capable and valued.
