Erie County Department of Senior Services Caregiver Resource Center 95 Franklin St., Room 1301, Buffalo, NY 14202 Caregiver: __________________________________________________ Caregiver Burden Assessment Scoring Sheet Objective Burden: Is defined as how a caregiver feels that providing help and assistance disrupts the caregiver’s own life. The caregiver is likely to benefit from services that will lessen tasks or care responsibilities, such as in-home services or adult day programs. Scores range from 6 to 30. Scores above 23 could be viewed as quite high. Score:___________ Subjective Stress Burden: Is the emotional impact of caregiving responsibilities on the caregiver. A caregiver who is emotionally stressed may benefit from a support group or individual counseling. Scores range from 4 to 20. Scores above 13.5 could be viewed as quite high. Score:___________ Subjective Demand Burden: Is defined as the extent to which the caregiver feels care responsibilities are overly demanding. The caregiver who is most stressed because he or she believes the demands made by the care recipient are inappropriate or excessive, may best be helped by an opportunity to learn more about the disease process, a care recipients true level of dependency and how much help should be provided. Written information about the disease, including how others cope, or talking with a professional - such as a counselor - can be good sources of help. Scores can range from 4 to 20. Scores above 15 could be viewed as quite high. Score:____________
