RATIONALE
This tool is valuable for evaluating patients with early-stage disease, both to assess the level of disease and to determine

the patient's ability to care for him- or herself.

These skills are considered more complex than the basic activities of daily living as measured by the Katz Index of ADLs The instrument is most useful for identifying how a person is functioning at the present time, and to identify improvement or deterioration over time.

Women are scored on all 8 areas of function; historically, for men, the areas of food preparation, housekeeping, laundering are excluded. Clients are scored according to their highest level of functioning in that category. A summary score ranges from 0 (low function, dependent) to 8 (high function, independent) for women, and 0 through 5 for men.

This instrument is intended to be used among older adults, and

can be used in community or hospital settings.

The instrument is not useful for institutionalized older adults.

It can be used as a baseline assessment tool and to compare baseline function to periodic assessments.
