    This document is a modified Barthel Index used to assess functional independence. It contains 10 categories to score ranging from bowel/bladder control to bathing on a scale of 0 to 10 or 15. Lower scores indicate greater dependency while a score of 100 represents full independence. The assessment should be based on the preceding week and care needs to be taken to record what a client actually does rather than what they are capable of. Total scores can classify dependency levels from total to minimal.

    • This should record what the client does rather than what they could be.
    • The need to supervision indicates that client is not independent.
    • Answers should be based on the best available evidence but direct observation is not required.
    • Client who is unconscious is scored “0” throughout even if not yet incontinent.
    • Use of aid to be independent is allowed.
    • Maximum score is 100; low scores on individual items highlight areas of need.

    Total Dependency = 0-24 Severe Dependency = 25-49 Moderate Dependency = 50-74

    Mild Dependency =75-90 Minimal Dependency = 91-99 Independent = 100
