Assisting with iADLs

Course Description

Assisting with iADLs (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living) is a course designed for caregivers to help them develop the skills and knowledge necessary to provide support and assistance to patients who have difficulties performing everyday tasks. iADLs are activities that allow individuals to live independently, such as shopping, preparing meals, managing finances, and using communication devices.
