Independence among the elderly when performing individual and social tasks is a very challenging issue in all societies. During the ageing process, implicit physical, physiological, psychological, and social changes generate disability in everyday personal activities and reduce independence of an individual. Decreased independence in the elderly has unpleasant consequences and can cause undue dependence on others in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), reduce quality of life, and damage health and is an impeding factor in Ageing-in-Place. Relevant data is collected from one hundred elderly from Ernakulam district through personal interviews and observations. The analysis revealed that the impairment in ADL and IADL activities were higher among the ‘old-old’ category, the impairments were lower among ‘young-old’ and ‘middle-old’ though extraneous variables can be an influencing factor. This analysis shows the physiological deterioration that gradually impairs the capacity of people to function normally and live independently. Difficulties with ADLs and IADLs generally correlates with the extent of assistance and care an older person requires; hence periodical assessment of these are vital.
