What The Heck Would IADL's Have 2 Do With Dementia

What the heck do IADL's (instrumental activities of daily living) have to do with dementia.  Dementia involves memory loss and is caused by biological changes in the brain.  We can examine this by considering an individuals need for daily meals.

Instrumental activities of daily living (IADL's) encompass the more complex tasks of procuring and properly storing groceries, preparing and serving a meal.  This involves a greater reliance on cognition using the mind to plan and perform throughout these roles.

Activities of daily living (ADL's) encompass the motor physical functional ability to consume the food and fluids that have been prepared. 

The senior has always had toast  with jelly for breakfast at the start of every day.  The supportive care agency places an electric use monitoring device on the toaster wall outlet so we can tell if the senior has had their morning toast.  The sensor indicates the toaster is not being used and likely the senior is not eating toast for the morning meal. This seems odd to the family cause the senior can walk around and use both hands just fine and verbalizes having toast every day.

The senior affected by dementia will stop making toast because they do not know how to work the toaster long before they are physically functionally unable to make toast.  Inability to properly use the familiar kitchen appliances to prepare a meal is a deficit - specifically incapable of independently performing the instrumental activity of daily living called meal preparation.
