Does anyone have a good diagnosis for the following condition:

Difficulty with ADL's
General decline in ADL's

I know this is pretty broad and I don't need something as a primary diagnosis just a supporting one to give a clear picture of the patient's condition.

Thanks much!!

:confused:
 
I was looking at the debility codes, 799.3 Debility, unspecified and 797 Senility which includes frailty and old age and I am not digging them. :)

What about decreased functional activity, 780.99 Other general symptoms?
 
That is what I came up with as well. I was hoping that there was something more specific but for now I will use these that you described.

Must be awful to get old :(
