The idea
Activities of daily living are basic self-care, feeding, bathing, dressing and toileting; instrumental activities of daily living are more complex tasks: shopping, medications and finances.
In practice
A woman who dresses herself but needs a daughter to manage her pills and bills: instrumental help only.
Where people slip
Difficulty with basic activities means help several times a day; difficulty with instrumental activities means occasional help.
