Introduction:
According to this schema, the vast majority of older adults, 70 percent, are able to get to the dentist and are categorized as functionally independent. About 14 percent of community-dwelling elderly fall under the frail adult category. These are persons with chronic conditions that create major limitations in mobility. About 5 percent of community-dwelling elderly are homebound or functionally dependent.6 Another group of functionally dependent older adults are those who are institutionalized in nursing homes.
