The next set of questions are about times you may have recently spent
assisting or carring for an adult who needed help beacuse of a condition
related to aging. For example, as people grow older, it sometimes becomes
difficult for them to perform various activities without help-such as grooming,
driving, managing the household, taking medication or other common
activities. Care may be provided in your home, their home or at a care facility.
Read if necessary: A condition related to aging is an ongoing ailment or physical or
emotional limitation that typically affects older people. Examples may include
becoming more frail; having difficulty seeing, hearing, or physically moving; becoming
more forgetful; tiring more quickly; or specific medical ailments that are more common
among older adults. It refers to existing conditions that become progressively worse
as one ages.
