Care Concerns

To understand your situation better, we will need to ask some important questions during our meetings. These questions will be about how the needs of the person with a developmental disability affect you as their caregiver, and about the kinds of medical or behavioural support they may need. The first four questions will be about their health conditions and the next four will be about their behavioural needs. We will also ask questions about safety to help us learn more about your well-being and the well-being of the person you care for.

We will then talk with you about your ability to continue providing support for the person’s needs. Some caregivers do not want to talk about these needs in front of their family member. If this is the case, we can go over your answers in private after the second interview. You can also choose to answer the questions on paper and give them back to the interviewer later.
