Summary

The primary objective of this study is to identify and support hidden caregivers of older adults. Caregivers are assessed before the intervention on their mental well-being and social connectedness. Caregivers are triaged into four levels: low, mild, moderate and high. They will receive different types of services (intervention) accordingly. At the end of the service period (or 6-months after the baseline), caregivers and care recipients will complete the assessment again to measure the changes of the primary outcomes.
