Description
Six activities of daily living (ADLs) are everyday tasks that are essential for basic functioning and independence. The Katz Index offers a framework for evaluating these essential activities, guiding families in recognizing when and what kind of support might be required. It encompasses these six key activities:
Â
1.    Bathing
2.    Dressing
3.    Eating
4.    Transferring
5.    Toileting
6.    Continence
Â
Each activity is an integral part of daily life, and difficulties in performing one or more can indicate the need for additional support. Download a copy of the Katz ADL Index to start your evaluation and monitoring process.
