(1) The TCARE assessment process gathers the following information reflecting the current status of both you and your caregiver in order to recommend services for your caregiver:
(a) TCARE screening scores from the five measures described in WAC
388-106-1931;
(b) Caregiver obligations;
(c) Caregiver's phase in the caregiving journey;
(d) Potential risk of out-of-home placement;
(e) Care receiver's need for assistance with activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living;
(f) Care receiver's memory status, physical health conditions, and behavioral support needs; and
(g) Caregiver's understanding of the care receiver's level of need and the ability to safely provide care with the assistance of available resources/services.
(2) Based upon the information gathered during the TCARE assessment process described in subsection (1) of this section, one of three primary goals, as defined in WAC
388-106-1925, is established for your caregiver with at least one strategy identified for meeting that goal. One or more of the five strategies described in WAC
388-106-1930, which are linked to recommended services and supports that have the most potential to help your caregiver continue providing care safely while also addressing their needs as a caregiver, may be recommended to reach the established goal.
