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."
