I notice almost 80%-90% of elderly who I came across can do all 6 ADL before they passed away.

What does ADL mean?​

According to the National Cancer Institute, ADL refers to ‘Activities of Daily Living’ or basic self-care tasks, and is a concept of how independent an elderly person is. These are routine activities that people have learned from a young age and usually do on a daily basis without any assistance such as eating, dressing, grooming, and using the toilet.

This term is commonly used amongst professionals who work in elderly care services as it helps them identify which seniors need more support in certain areas. If you work in a nursing facility, or perhaps an elderly home care service agency, it is essential to familiarise yourself with these terms as you go along.

Many of these activities of daily living may seem like simple and mundane tasks for most people. However, given the increasing ageing population in different societies, there may be elderly people who are unable to function like they used to and need assistive care with basic ADLs.

If cannot do anyone of them means very jialat already.

In fact, there should be 1 more activity added to the list. Knowing the day of the week.

Dementia patients often have short termed memory and cannot discern day and date. These persons need assistance in their daily living because they forget what medications they have taken, what time of the day it is, whether they have taken their meals or not etc. They need to be prompted often and repeatedly over the course of the day.

This type of insurance is best not to claim at all.

Moi have few elderly and not old relatives and friends who kenna stroke, heart-attack and dementia but no die. The payout only help to subsidize a small portion of their community hospital and nursing home monthly bills for 6 years (now new on can payout until mati). Even though the payout is low, it really do help and means a lot to the patient's family and loved ones that are coughing out blood money to pay for the expenses. Very cham one, trust moi, better insure yourself for the sake of your family.

Moi no insurance agent.
