Health Provider Survey on Latino Caregiving

The Latino Caregiver Project (launched by St Barnabas Senior Services in partnership with AARP) is conducting a brief survey of providers on their practices in identifying caregivers and their care. Caregivers are individuals who assist older adults 50+ with a variety of Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) e.g. dressing, bathing, eating, and toileting, and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) e.g. managing money, shopping, housekeeping, preparing meals, taking medications correctly. Caregivers can be family or non-family members.

3.Do you ask your patients if they need assistance with their Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) or their Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs)? Ex: dressing, feeding, ambulating, personal hygiene or managing money, housekeeping, preparing meals.
4.Do you ask them if they have a caregiver? Ex: Do you ask who might be helping them? Or who assists them with their ADLs or IADLs?
