ADL IADL Deficit to Care Level Calculator

Determine care level requirement from ADL and IADL deficits. Loss of IADLs first (CDR 0.5-1); ADL loss indicates need for supervised or full care.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Determine care level requirement from ADL and IADL deficits. Loss of IADLs first (CDR 0.5-1); ADL loss indicates need for supervised or full care

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • ADL — The adl recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • IADL deficits — The iadl deficits recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the adl iadl care result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the ADL, IADL deficits for the scenario you are assessing. Determine care level requirement from ADL and IADL deficits. Loss of IADLs first (CDR 0.5-1); ADL loss indicates need for supervised or full care. Use the adl iadl care result to inform your calculation.
