This is the area for in-depth discussion of: include component="comments" page="activities of daily living (ADLs)" limit="10" I find it sad when some one at an old age has hard time doing their own daily living higene, or even coming their hair it becomes a struggle. fortunetely we the opportunity to have nursing home and other assisting living home for people that needs help,just think of those in other countrie s or even here that refused to go any where but their own home, sometime they die alone. I find that very disturbing, I just think that we need to value our older generation just as we value the young generation. After we all end up being old if we are lucky enough.
