Question 1

What is this caregiver stress self-check?

Accepted Answer

It is a short self-check of 12 questions about the past two weeks — sleep, your own health, time for yourself, patience, support and exhaustion. It was written by mementio.care. It is not a validated clinical instrument and not a diagnosis; it is meant to help you notice how you are doing and decide whether to look for support.

Question 2

What does my score mean?

Accepted Answer

Each answer scores 0–4, so the total ranges from 0 to 48. The result is shown in four bands, from little to no burden up to severe burden. The bands are a plain guide, not clinical cut-offs. If your score is high, or you feel you cannot cope, please talk to a doctor, a counselling service or a crisis line.

Question 3

Is caregiver burnout real?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Caregiver burnout is a recognized state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion that can occur when caregivers do not get the help they need. Many family caregivers become exhausted or depressed. This check is not a diagnosis. Recognizing burnout early is critical for both the caregiver and the person in their care.

Question 4

Is my data stored or shared?

Accepted Answer

No. Your answers to the stress test are not stored or shared with anyone. The assessment runs entirely in your browser and the results are yours alone.
