    Caregiver Support Executive Summary

    Since becoming the Senior Social Worker / Acting Caregiver Support Coordinator, I have provided feedback and recommendations that have directly influenced the program’s policies and procedures. For example, when I began working with the program in May 2015, Veterans and their Caregivers had 6 months to appeal the outcome of their assessment for the Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers Programs. Working collaboratively with other program staff, we immediately recognized the length of time needed to be shortened. After agreeing on 45 days to appeal, we discussed these changes with our supervisor, and began implementing this change and communicating it to applicants and program participants. As a result, the appeals are received in a…

    Family Caregivers

    There are several comparative and contrasts to the care work that is provided to the elderly by family caregivers and paid caregivers. Many who research caregiving, often differ on their definition of caregivers and the care work that they provide. For this essay we argue with Duxbury, Higgins and Lum, and rely on their definition that the term informal or family caregivers is defined as “the individuals who provide ongoing care and assistance, without pay, for family members and friends in need of support due to physical, cognitive, or mental conditions related to aging”, because of its specificity on how these caregivers do not receive a financial compensation, while also touching on the inclusion of caring for the multiple conditions that…

    Uniform Caregiver Assessment

    While the NFCSP developed since 2000 did show increased efforts on caregiver support services, the flexibility of the program’s administration structure resulted in several issues, one of which is the lack of uniform caregiver assessment (Feinberg, et al., 2006; Alliance, 2006). On a basis of history and variation discussion and the cost benefit analysis by comparing the policy alternative to the current policy, while legislating a standardized caregiver assessment under the OAA Title III E would definitely lead to benefits for caregivers, care receivers and more importantly, the entire NFCSP system, a range of potential costs and the difficulties to measure their magnitude suggested that it is not the right time for passing this policy reform because the tool could not be created from zero to a national uniform overnight. Instead, by setting the national mandatory standardized caregiver assessment in the NFCSP as the final goal, I recommend that AoA could develop a step-by-step plan for realizing the goal, taking states’ distinctive conditions into account and assigning specific tasks to states at different stages.…

    Informal Caregivers Health Literacy

    Various researchers have noted that, inadequate medication adherence and dosing errors were observed among informal adult caregivers with marginal health literacy skills. Since people living with HIV are likely to show strong reliance on the support and counselling of informal caregivers, this finding is crucial, even though still little is known about this issue among both researchers and healthcare practitioners. On the one hand, the scientific literature seems to overlook the effects of informal caregivers’ limited health literacy on the health status of the patient, mainly focusing on specific concerns such as caregivers’ adherence to medications. Alternatively, the information needs of informal caregivers living with poor health literacy…

    Caregiver Burnout Essay

    Exploring Caregiver Burnout in Older Adults Caring for Their Sick Spouse Background Caregiver burnout occurs when an individual suffers from physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion as a result of continuous caregiving (Alpert, 2014). Informal caregivers, such as family members or friends, are at a high risk for caregiver burnout because of their inadequate training to manage increased care demands. Caregiver burnout, also known as caregiver stress, is a growing concern in our society today because the baby boomer population is aging. This has resulted in an increase in informal care provided by older adult spouses who are managing their own health conditions (Rosness, Mjørud, & Engedal, 2011). In this paper, we argue that older adults who care for their spouses with chronic diseases are at a high risk for caregiver burnout.…

    Long Term Care: The Need for Change. Long term care (LTC) has been classified as both medical and non-medical services developed to meet the needs of those who suffer from disabilities or chronic illnesses.

Due to these settings, LTC is often associated with aging populations, however long care term may be needed by people of various ages in multiple settings.…
