TCARE® Screener

This link is for caregivers who have contacted their local TCARE Specialist and have been directed to fill out the TCARE® Screener.

The TCARE® Screener asks you to reflect on your experiences and respond to a series of statements based on identified rating scales in each section.

This screener is used to help you and the caregiver specialist get a better understanding of your situation and to better define an individualized plan to meet your unique needs.

Take the short screener to get the initial measures of your wellbeing, and a TCARE Specialist will reach out to discuss the results.

If you haven’t been in touch with your TCARE Specialist, you will want to contact them first.
