Increase in Caregiver Access to Respite

Prepared by ARCH as a sample measurement tool for Lifespan Respite grantees/partners. 

In an interview or focus group format, ask each key leader or stakeholder, “Have you documented an increase in caregiver access to respite that can be attributed to LR grantee efforts?” The comments section should be answers to follow-up questions: If the answer is Yes, ask: What features of the Lifespan Respite program do you think contributed to the increase in access to respite? If the answer is No, ask: Do you have suggestions as to how the Lifespan Respite program can be strengthened so more caregivers can access respite? If the answer is Uncertain, ask if they are able to venture a guess and explain why they guessed as they did.
