ELDERLY

Old people often have limited regenerative abilities and are more susceptible to disease, syndromes, and sickness than younger adults.

 Promoting independence in the elderly

Promoting independence in self-care can provide older adults with the capability to maintain independence longer and can leave them with a sense of achievement when they complete a task unaided. Older adults that require assistance with activities of daily living are at a greater risk of losing their independence with self-care tasks as dependent personal behaviours are often met.
