Firstly, household tasks can vary from shopping, to doing laundry or preparing healthy meals, which are basic everyday needs that the elders might not be able to carry out. Moreover, self-care and mobility tasks include transferring, feeding,  grooming, bathing and toileting, meaning activities that are mandatory for maintaining a proper quality of daily life.
