Care managers, including nurses and social workers, often lack information that would help them more effectively target services to caregivers' needs. Useful information includes the type of services that will be most helpful for caregivers and the best time to start using these services. Generally, caregivers are simply told what services they are eligible for among those that are available in their communities, such as respite care and caregiver support groups, rather than being referred to the services that are most pertinent to their needs. As a result, caregivers fail to use services or tap into them too late in the care process to be beneficial. Evidence from studies assessing the effect of single-component interventions such as family counseling, behavioral therapy, and care management indicate that such programs are most effective for reducing caregiver burden when the services are provided in sufficient quantity and targeted to specific needs. The most promising findings have emerged from studies that include multiple relatively comprehensive support services. Such interventions are more likely to meet a caregiver's immediate needs because at least one of the support services probably will be appropriate at any point in time. Multicomponent interventions also have a higher probability of meeting caregivers' needs as they change over time. Changes in the caregiving experience require corresponding changes in caregiving behaviors and, therefore, changes in the services caregivers need. Without valid and reliable measures for assessing caregivers' needs and targeting services to meet them, care managers, nurses, and social workers aren't able to use resources efficiently, and caregivers are not well served. In this article, the authors discuss the Tailored Caregiver Assessment and Referral (TCARE) process, an evidenced based approach that provides a systematic process for assessing caregiver needs and delivering services more efficiently.
