Notice your aging parent or loved one slipping on basic daily tasks? Forgetting meds, letting laundry pile up, or struggling with grocery runs usually isn't just "getting older"—it’s often a sign they're struggling with Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs).
IADLs are the complex tasks required to live independently, like managing finances, cooking, taking care of the home, and keeping up with appointments. When these start to slide, it’s one of the clearest indicators that extra support is needed.
Our latest caregiver guide breaks down exactly what IADLs are, how to spot the early warning signs, and how Connecticut’s Adult Family Living (AFL) Program can help you care for them at home.
