Assessment Tips
















The Barthel Index is the gold-standard clinical assessment used worldwide to measure a senior's capability and independence in Activities of Daily Living (ADL). By evaluating ten fundamental daily activities, it provides families and caregivers with clear, actionable insights into self-care and functional mobility needs.
Self-Care Independence
Evaluates essential daily tasks including feeding, personal hygiene, bathing, dressing, and toilet use to determine self-care autonomy.
Functional Mobility
Measures physical capability in shifting from bed to chair, walking safely on level surfaces, and climbing stairs.
Actionable Care Scoring
Provides a standard clinical score out of 100 to guide home care planning, stroke recovery tracking, and physiotherapy recommendations.
