Caregivers Count Too! Section 3: Caregiver Assessment Table

Key findings used in wiki

• Structures a caregiver assessment into separate information categories: the care recipient's health and functional status (ADLs, IADLs, cognitive impairment, behavioral problems, medical needs) is assessed apart from the caregiver's own situation.
• Names "caregiver/care recipient willingness to assume/accept care" as its own assessed category, with a direct question ("Is the caregiver willing to assume the caregiver role?") and probes for perceived filial obligation and cultural norms — treating willingness as something to ask, not infer from the relationship.
• Names "Caregiver Skills/Abilities/Knowledge to Provide Care" as a distinct category (caregiving confidence, competencies, and knowledge of specific medical tasks), separate from willingness.
• Assesses availability-adjacent context separately: household composition, employment status, financial status, and existing social support or community-resource use, plus caregiver well-being (self-rated health, depression, life satisfaction) as a consequence to track, not a precondition to check off.
