Moderately Frail
People who need help with all outside activities and with keeping house. Inside, they often have problems with stairs and need help with bathing and might need minimal assistance (cueing, standby) with dressing.

Approaching the end of life. This category applies to people with a life expectancy &lessthan; 6 months, who are not otherwise evidently frail.
