Program 2 ADL and IADL

Non-medical assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) encompasses the invaluable aid and encouragement offered to clients who require help with fundamental self-care tasks and domestic chores, typically because of age, disability, or illness. ADLs represent the routine activities that people typically perform daily to attend to their own well-being.

Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) are complex tasks essential for maintaining independence in a community or home environment. While Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) center on personal care, IADLs involve managing one's surroundings and performing tasks that facilitate everyday living.

Assistive equipment refers to specialized devices, tools, or technology specifically designed to help individuals with disabilities perform tasks that might be difficult or unmanageable without support. These assistive tools are carefully customized to meet the distinct and specific needs of each individual, considering their unique abilities and limitations.

Assistive equipment is a crucial component of comprehensive care for clients with disabilities, providing them with tailored solutions to overcome challenges and lead more fulfilling and independent lives.

Medication reminders at the caregiver level for non-medical services involve offering assistance and support within a non-medical caregiving context to help individuals manage their medications safely and effectively. The primary objective is to facilitate individuals in maintaining their medication regimen correctly. 

Caregivers play a crucial role in this process by working collaboratively with the client, their healthcare provider, and family members to ensure that medication reminders are carried out in a manner that prioritizes the client's well-being and adherence to their prescribed medication schedule. 

The course "Nutrition and Special Dietary Care" is designed to provide caregivers with crucial knowledge and skills for offering specialized nutrition support to clients, particularly focusing on the unique dietary needs of the elderly. It covers essential principles of balanced nutrition and special dietary considerations for common medical conditions, equipping caregivers to address and manage these requirements effectively.
