Aging is a fact of life and it affects all families. As adult children, when imagining our parents as seniors, we may not fully comprehend the extent to which their aging will affect them or how it will affect us. Indeed, if they are already seniors and still in good health and living independently we may not feel any dramatic changes or concerns. However, the time does come when effects of aging become more evident and long-term care may be needed.
老龄化已经成为了生活中现实的一部分，它影响着所有家庭。作为成年子女，当我们将父母想象为老年人时，我们可能无法完全理解他们的衰老对他们的影响程度或影响我们的程度。事实上，如果他们已经是老年人并且身体健康并且独立生活，我们可能不会感到任何戏剧性的变化或担忧。然而，时间到了，老龄化的影响变得更加明显，可能需要长期护理。
A，Activities of Daily Living (known as ADLs)
Essentials necessary to the dignity and physical and emotional well-being of our elderly parents is to ensure their daily living requirements are met effectively. The basic ADL activities are typically listed as:
我们年迈父母的尊严和身心健康所必需的要素是确保他们的日常生活需求得到有效满足。基本的ADL活动通常列为：
· Self-feeding
· Functional Mobility (moving while performing activities, getting in and out of bed, in and out of a chair)
· Dressing
· Bathing or Showering
· Personal Hygiene(includes brushing/styling hair, shaving, grooming activities)
· Toilet Hygiene(includes getting to the toilet, self-cleaning, getting up from the toilet)
If they have impaired mobility and health issues that make it difficult or impossible for them to take care of these ADLs independently then you need to find them the appropriate help. Whether it’s providing care (you or someone else who is qualified) or investing in the proper equipment and accessories to help them continue doing daily tasks independently, be aware that there are many choices and options available.
如果他们的身体不便和存在一些健康问题，这使他们难以或不可能独立地照顾这些ADL行为，那么您需要找到适当的帮助。无论是提供护理（您或其他合格的人）还是投资于合适的设备和配件，以帮助他们继续独立完成日常任务，请注意有许多选择和选项可供选择。
B，Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs)
Other types of daily living activities, not necessarily fundamental, but related to independent functioning are called instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). IADLs most often refer to the following types of activities with long-term care:
其他类型的日常生活活动，不一定是基本的，但与独立运作有关，被称为日常生活的工具活动（IADL）。IADL最常提及以下类型的长期护理活动：
· Cooking and Preparing Meals
· Cleaning and Maintaining the Home
· Shopping and Buying Necessities
· Running Errands
· Managing Money and Paying Bills
· Speaking or Communicating on the Phone or Through Other Devices
· Taking Prescribed Medications
Again, it’s important to the overall well-being of elderly parents that their IADLs are taken care of effectively and consistently. If there are obstacles or difficulties with doing these tasks alone, there is help. Whether it’s you, other siblings, relatives or friends that help out, or even professional caregivers, arranging help is possible. Other sources of help include technological devices that can provide assistance or even various community services geared at helping seniors. Taking an honest look at where an elderly parent needs support is the first step and then assess at all the possible solutions in order get them the help they need.
同样，对于年迈父母的整体福祉来说，重要的是他们的IADL得到有效和一致的照顾。如果单独完成这些任务存在障碍或困难，可以提供帮助。无论是你，其他兄弟姐妹，亲戚或朋友帮助，甚至是专业护理人员，都可以提供帮助。其他帮助来源包括可以提供援助的技术设备，甚至是帮助老年人的各种社区服务。诚实地看看老年父母需要支持的地方是第一步，然后评估所有可能的解决方案，以便为他们提供所需的帮助。
