Caregiver assessment is a systematic process of gathering information about a
caregiving situation to identify the specific problems, needs, strengths, and resources
of the family caregiver, as well as the ability of the caregiver to contribute to the needs
of the care recipient. Effectively assessing and addressing caregiver needs can maintain
the health and well-being of caregivers, sustain their ability to provide care, prevent or
postpone nursing home placement, and produce better outcomes for the care recipient.
