Edmonton Frail Scale

The Edmonton Frail Scale is a tool used by healthcare professionals to assess how frail or vulnerable an older adult is. It looks at various aspects like physical health, mental function, ability to perform everyday activities, social support, medication use, nutrition, and mood. By evaluating these areas, the scale helps identify individuals who may be at higher risk of health problems, falls, or hospitalizations. This information guides healthcare decisions, allowing for personalized care plans to prevent decline and improve quality of life for seniors.
