HammondCare is conducting a practical research project looking at what types of assistive technology can help reduce stress for those who care for someone who is frail aged.

Example Case Study
Julie, 52, works full time and cares for her 79 year old father Jim before and after work. For morning tea, Jim likes to make coffee on the stove; however he often forgets to turn the stove off causing a fire risk and stress for Julie at work. Julie had a hidden 'time out' switch installed on the stove, so that it switches off automatically if left on too long. Julie is much happier and can concentrate at work.

Please complete the simple survey below so that we can assess your care needs and research what might be the most appropriate assistive technologies to improve your quality of life as a carer.

As a way of thanking those who participate in this carer's survey we will gladly send you the findings of our research project as well as the recommendations that emerge as to the kinds of Assistive Technologies that are available to help you in your care situation. If you would like to recieve this information, please fill in your name and email address at the end of this form.

Thank you for sharing with us!
