| Annotation | The Camberwell Assessment of Need for the Elderly (CANE) is a tool for assessing the needs of older people, particularly those with mental health problems. CANE is based on the Camberwell Assessment of Need, a widely used needs assessment for people with severe mental health problems. Needs are assessed in 24 areas of life, and cover a broad range of health, social and psychological domains, also the needs of carers. This book contains chapters on the development of CANE and its applications in various settings and populations, such as day hospitals, sheltered housing, primary care, acute hospital wards, services for early-onset dementia, and long-term care settings. The full CANE and short version (CANE-S) are included in photocopiable format, along with a detailed manual, a full training programme, and scoring guidance. CANE has been rigorously developed by a multidisciplinary team at University College London in collaboration with other academic centres, and is suitable for use in all settings involving older people.
