Summary

This mixed-methods study undertook 61 surveys and 7 in-depth interviews with carers between October 2020 and May 2022. It found that half of carer respondents reported having an emergency plan for their care recipient with mental or physical conditions, disabilities, or illnesses. Carers identified emergency needs in areas of physical and practical assistance, transportation assistance, and psychosocial and emotional support. This overview of the study also includes advice informing carers on how to best prepare themselves and their care recipient for emergencies.
