·Assessment methodology
How GiveCare assessments work
Score is the front door. This page explains the short check-ins and focused follow-up behind it.
0-100Score app is the caregiver-facing entry point
The operating sequence
GiveCare should not feel like a research survey. The assessment system exists to make the next useful step more visible.
01
Start with the Score
The public front door is the Score app. It should be fast enough for a caregiver to finish before the next interruption.
02
Ask deeper only when useful
Follow-up narrows to the pressure zones that matter, instead of making every caregiver complete every assessment.
03
Turn it into one next step
The result should clarify what to do next. It is not a diagnosis, benefits decision, or emergency service.
Assessment layers
The public Score app stays simple. Longer or more specific checks are only useful when they explain a pressure zone or improve the handoff.
