Basic acts of daily life

The basic acts of daily living (ADLs) make it possible to define a person's state and degree of dependence, i.e. his or her ability to carry out one or more of these acts alone and properly, including with the appropriate technical aids (glasses, wheelchair, etc.). They generally cover the following categories of actions:

  • food: for example, eating food that has been previously served and cut, and drinking;
  • travel: for example, moving around inside the dwelling;
  • dressing: for example, putting on and taking off the clothes usually worn;
  • hygiene/toilet: for example, washing the whole body and ensuring satisfactory hygiene of disposal and thus spontaneously maintaining a level of personal hygiene in accordance with usual standards;
  • transfers: for example, moving from one of the three positions - sitting, lying or standing - to another and vice versa.

When the contract uses these criteria to assess the state of dependence, it defines them explicitly.
These criteria are not necessarily those used by the public authorities(resource groups).
