In this article, we will discuss what are called Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs). We consider these as important as ADLs, in terms of establishing the need for home care or alternative living arrangements. We wish that providers of Long Term Care Insurance took them more seriously, as well.

We introduced the Advance Living Directive™ Support For Home developed in our last article. It is neither a commercial product nor a sole creation of our agency. Like most good things, it is collaborative, adapted from an article by M.P. Lawton and E.M. Brody. This tool allows individuals and families to look at all of the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) that we perform virtually every day.
We really do encourage families to participate in this exercise together, applying it not just to Mom and Dad, but to themselves, as well. Using the tool together and discussing the results as a family goes through the exercise will generate some excellent discussion and make the outcome more meaningful for all.

At Support For Home and other good home care agencies, our mission is to help people live at home just as long as they want to and safely can. We, along with the courts and gerontologists, believe that home is normally the place where quality of life is the highest. However, we believe that every individual and every family should, in advance, determine the criteria which establishes home as a viable living space – either independently or with home care services.
