Percentage of patients who get better at getting dressed
Most people value being able to take care of themselves. In some cases, it may take more time for you to dress yourself than to have someone dress you. But it is important that home health staff and informal caregivers encourage you to do as much as you can for yourself. Your home health staff will evaluate your need for, and teach you how to use any special devices or equipment that you may need to help you increase you ability to perform some activities without the assistance of another person.
