Caregiver interview scorecard

Ten questions on ADL scenarios, dementia behaviors, reliability, boundaries and incident reporting. Weighted, with room for three interviewers.

Preview of the caregiver interview scorecard spreadsheet: the Scorecard A tab, with interview questions, their weights and 1 to 5 score columns for three interviewers

What’s inside

  • Ten structured questions

    ADL scenarios, dementia behaviors, reliability, boundaries and incident reporting — one sheet, not a scattered set of interview notes.

  • 1–5 anchors on every question

    So two interviewers agree on what a 3 sounds like, instead of scoring on gut feel.

  • Weighted totals

    The questions that predict reliability and boundaries count for more in the final score.

  • Three-candidate tab

    Score each candidate on their own tab, then see all three weighted totals and per-question averages side by side before you decide.
