"I feel heard for the first time!" That's what caregivers are saying about TCARE. Many caregivers are overwhelmed, overworked, and not even sure if they identify as a caregiver. TCARE has components that support and empower caregivers. An easy to complete screening tool helps them self identify if they are in need of support and may be at risk for burnout. The care plans target areas identified in a full assessment that trained specialists deliver. Caregivers are learning why, how, and where to practice self care. TCARE's automated texting touch points help encourage them to use their plan, helps staff identify if they are more stressed than previous weeks and notifies them to reach out to the caregiver.
TCARE is improving risk burnout, stress levels, and most important is helping caregivers feel supported even when a service may not be available in their area. They understand why the are stressed, where it is from, and how to make changes to improve it. It gives the caregivers validation and empowerment.
