Abstract

Maintaining independence in daily activities is an important treatment outcome for people with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and their families. Dependence levels and care needs in people with AD were assessed using a revised scale derived from the Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study – Activities of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL), a widely used measure of basic and instrumental ADLs (bADLs and iADLs). Dependence was scored on a six-stage scale from completely independent to incontinent and/or unable to transfer without assistance.
