App To Track Activities Of Daily Living (ADLs) By Seniors At Home Alone

For older adults living at home alone, keeping up with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) is essential for well-being, safety, and confidence. The CHUFFTY App, developed by IHCT.com.au, helps make this easier by giving users a simple way to track their daily routines — right from their phone or tablet.

What Are ADLs?
ADLs are the everyday tasks we all need to manage, such as:

Eating and meal preparation

Showering and hygiene

Dressing

Mobility (moving safely at home)

Taking medications

Toileting

Daily check-ins and communication

When these tasks are tracked, it helps seniors — and those supporting them — stay on top of health, habits, and any early signs of change.

How CHUFFTY Supports ADLs
The CHUFFTY App makes it easy to: Log daily activities like meals, exercise, hydration, and medications Record notes or feedback (e.g. “felt dizzy this morning” or “skipped lunch”) View daily routines set by the user or carer Time- and date-stamp entries for accurate reporting Share activity logs securely with carers, family, or healthcare professionals (with an optional CHUFFTY Account)

Why It Matters
Supports independence while living alone
Encourages healthy habits and routines
Provides peace of mind for families and care teams
Improves care decisions through better visibility

Support Daily Living: Track Meals with the CHUFFTY App
Eating regularly and nutritiously is a key Activity of Daily Living (ADL) — especially for older adults living at home alone. The CHUFFTY App empowers seniors to independently log their meals and share that information with carers, family members, or allied health professionals.

EXAMPLE: Simple Meal Logging
With CHUFFTY, users can quickly record:
When the meal was delivered or prepared (auto time/date stamped)
- Addtionally, notes can be added recording:
What was eaten or served
Meal contents (e.g. protein, fruit, hydration)
Feedback on the meal (liked it? not hungry?)
Who delivered or prepared it

All entries are saved in the Activity Log, providing a clear picture of meal patterns and daily self-care.

Shared Visibility for Better Support
If using an optional CHUFFTY Account, users can:
Share meal history with nominated carers or clinicians
Help track nutrition, appetite, and routine without needing frequent face-to-face meetings
Ensure support teams stay informed and proactive

Why It Matters
Maintaining consistent meals is a cornerstone of safe and independent living. Tracking meals:
Encourages daily routine
Highlights skipped or missed meals
Supports care planning for nutrition and well-being

With CHUFFTY, older adults don’t just log meals — they take an active role in their health while remaining connected to their care team.

If you can regularly use the CHUFFTY APP then you have skills to live independently
