This will help you and care professionals to understand the kind of daily routines that are easy and those that are most challenging for the senior. According to our assessment when making this chart, these six activities will give the family and individual the best definition of their needs which are:
- Using the rest room
- Bathing
- Dressing
- Getting in and out of bed
- Ability to control the bowels
