Consider the following ADL coding scenario:
- Supervision (code of “1”) occurred three times,
- Limited Assistance (code of “2”) occurred once,
- Extensive Assistance (code of “3”) occurred once, and
- Total Assistance (code of “4”) occurred once in the look back period.
- Episodes of full staff performance are considered to be weight-bearing assistance (when every episode is full staff performance—this is total dependence)
- When there are three or more episodes of a combination of full staff performance and weight-bearing assistance—code extensive assistance (3)
- When there are three or more episodes of a combination of full staff performance, weight-bearing assistance, and non-weight-bearing assistance—code limited assistance (2).”
Please note that these rules for combining various levels of support only occur when the “activity occurs at more than one level, but not three times at any one level.”
