| Annotation | This study monitored key processes and outcomes in joint and social services community psychogeriatric teams, from the perspective of principal carers of people with dementia. Measures examined included avoidable admissions, crises or untoward events, unmet needs, and severe stress. Inclusion of carers in the monitoring of joint agency teams can lead to identification of practical problems in service provision and delivery. Keyworker assessments of carer stress may not be valid and direct measurement may be necessary. |
