CANE: Camberwell Assessment of Need for the Elderly
Edited by Martin Orrell and Geraldine Hancock
CANE: Camberwell Assessment of Need for the Elderly
is a tool for assessing the needs of older people and particularly
those with mental health problems. It is based on the
Camberwell Assessment of Need, a widely used needs
assessment for people with severe mental illness. Needs are
assessed in 24 areas of life and cover a broad range of health,
social and psychological domains. Also included are two items that
assess the needs of those who care for the older person.
The CANE is a comprehensive assessment instrument,
suitable for both research and clinical use. This book contains
chapters on its development, and its application 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. There are also chapters on
its use in Spain and Germany. Both the full version CANE
and short version (CANE–S) are included in photocopiable format,
along with a detailed manual, a full training programme and scoring
guidance.
The CANE has been rigorously developed by a
multi-disciplinary team at University College London in
collaboration with other academic centres, and is suitable for use
in all settings involving older persons.
"CANE appears to have much to recommend it to service
managers and team leaders in health or social care hunting for a
standardized assessment tool which will meet the demands of the
U.K. National Service Framework for Older People. ...This
represents unusually good value for the cost of the book and should
justify its expense to any service manager."
