Center For Disease Control Stats Show That Assistance With ADLs Is A Large Need
|
|
A study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control shows that many aging Americans need help with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). The survey took into account numbers from 1992-2006, and showed that 23 percent of Americans 65 and older who live at home need help with walking. Eleven percent of the elderly population who lived at home needed help getting out of bed or chairs. A Persoanl Assistance Service (PAS) like Caring Senior Service, provides assistance with ADLs in the home. Click here and scroll to link No. 6 for CDC tables. | |

Sincerely,
