Family Caregiver Domains of Preparedness

Family Caregiving Institute. "Family Caregiver Domains of Preparedness." 2021.

Key findings used in wiki

• The framework breaks caregiving into practical domains: household tasks, personal care, mobility, health monitoring, emotional and social support, care coordination, medical / nursing tasks, shared decision making, and caregiver self-care.
• It is useful for public caregiver guidance because it helps families name the work clearly instead of treating caregiving as one undifferentiated burden.
• The domains also reinforce that caregiving often includes coordination, legal / financial decisions, training needs, and self-care, not only hands-on physical help.
• It supports the wiki's advice to divide responsibilities into concrete categories when families are trying to share work or assess what kind of help is missing.
