Assisting with ADLs

Assisting with ADLs

This course will cover the activities of daily living (ADLs) which are the essential, everyday tasks that we need to perform in order to live independently such as eating, bathing, and ambulating. As a caregiver, you can greatly assist those who, for cognitive, physical, and other reasons, are unable to independently complete their ADLs. In this course, you will learn how to assess clients' need for assistance with ADLs as well as learn practical ways to assist them. Assisting with ADLs is more than doing something for your client; it is helping them to do as much as they can for themselves.
