While it is important to assist the resident with activities of daily living (ADLs) as needed, the care plan should aim to maintain or improve the resident's level of independence as much as possible. Depending on the resident's level of functioning, it may be appropriate to encourage the resident to participate in ADLs to the best of their ability, rather than performing all ADLs for them.
