While Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) focus on the basic self-care tasks an individual must perform daily, Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (iADLs) revolve around more complex activities required to fully engage in community life and maintain a household. These tasks often go beyond personal self-care and touch upon an individual's ability to live independently and safely within their community. The iADLs or Lifestyle Support services provide vital assistance to those who may find these activities challenging due to age, illness, or disability.

Instrumental Activities of Daily Living, or Lifestyle Support services, play a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life for many. By addressing these broader aspects of daily life, we empower individuals to not only live independently but to also actively engage in, and contribute to, their communities. Through these services, we aim to foster a sense of independence, community connection, and overall well-being.
