The GARS instrument was developed to measure both activities of daily life (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily life (IADL) disability in community-based studies with respect to the aid and services provided by professional home help and district nursing agencies. It makes it possible to (1) more precisely describe the severity of the disablement caused by several chronic conditions, (2) establish changes in disablement over time, (3) differentiate more accurately between degrees of disability, and (4) improve the assessment of the need for professional care.
