Frequently Asked Questions
What does ADL mean?
ADL stands for activities of daily living — the basic self-care tasks like bathing, dressing, eating, toileting and moving around that define a person's ability to live independently.

ADL assistance involves hands-on help with physical daily tasks. Companion care focuses on social connection, conversation and emotional support rather than hands-on personal routines.
