Rate 8 daily activities. You will get a plain-English picture of their situation and specific language to use when calling My Aged Care, the NHS, or any assessment service.
Rate each activity based on what they can actually do now — not what they used to do, and not on a good day. Be honest. This tool is most useful when it reflects reality.
This tool gives you a framework for thinking and talking about the situation. It is not a clinical assessment. A formal assessment by My Aged Care (AU), your GP and local authority (UK), or a geriatrician is needed to access funded services. Get your action plan →
