Enhancing Caring Communities: A Toolkit for Organizations to Better Support Caregivers

Where are the service gaps in your community and how could you fill them?

Now that you have assessed how and to what extent your organization currently serves and supports caregivers, the next step is to determine what is missing. Your goal in this part of your assessment is to collect data to help you identify gaps in caregiver support and services within your organization and your community, using the following questions to guide you:

  • What challenges/barriers have been experienced providing support/services to caregivers in the community?
  • What knowledge/training do we need to provide better support/services to caregivers in the community?
  • What resources (not just monetary) do we need to provide better support/services to caregivers in the community?
  • What areas of caregiver support would we most like to improve?
