10-item scale that measures caregiver satisfaction with care for persons with dementia. Each item is measured on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1 ("strongly disagree") to 4 ("strongly agree"). Specific elements include satisfaction with medical and nursing care, decision-making, and their understanding of the persons with dementia illness. All items are summed, yielding a range of scores of 10-40. Higher scores indicate greater satisfaction.
