- 17. Caring for the Frail Elderly How do gerontologists determine frailty? Typically identified as five tasks of self- care that are important to independent living: eating, bathing, toileting, dressing, and transferring from bed to a chair. The inability to perform any of these tasks is a sign of frailty. Actions (for example, paying bills and driving a car) that are important to independent living and that require some intellectual competence and forethought. The ability to perform these tasks may be even more critical to self-sufficiency than ADL ability. Indicators of frailty Activities of Daily Life (ADLs) frail elderly: People over age 65, and often over age 85, who are physically infirm, very ill, or cognitively disabled.

Research suggests that closeness to grandparents helps insulate at-risk teens from mental health problems (Attar-Schwartz and others, 2009; Flouri and others, 2011). Of the 6.1 million U.S. grandparents who lived with their grandchildren as of 2006, roughly 40 percent, or 2.5 million, were responsible for a child's basic care. Caregiving grandparents also tend to be relatively poor. Many struggle to raise a grandchild plus work full-time (U.S. Department of Census, 2008). Custodial grandparents are typically deeply distressed, mourning the fact that their own son or daughter is incapable of performing a parent's job (Baird, 2003; Kelley & Whitley, 2003). Even though they may be angry at being forced into this "off-time" life role, they also often feel generative in their watchdog mission to protect their flesh and blood (Hayslip & Patrick, 2003).

In addition to the popularity of gardening, older adults enjoy challenging hobbies and home-repair activities, which correlate with lower rates of dementia (E. Kröger et al., 2008). Sometimes a neighborhood or apartment complex becomes what is called a NORC (naturally occurring retirement community)—in this case, older people stay in place after children move away and/or their partners die, but they retain familiarity and friendships. Sometimes NORCs can replace after-school programs with senior centers if that is what the community needs. But to age in place successfully, elderly people need many community services (K. Black, 2008).
