Address person who answers the phone:

Hello, my name is __________________. I’m calling from ________________. We’re trying to learn how caregivers get the information they need to keep the people they care for safe and healthy. We randomly chose your number to see if anyone in your household would be eligible and willing to help us.

To understand this subject, it’s important that we talk to people who provide unpaid care for older adults. Is there anyone in your household that has provided unpaid care to a relative or friend 65 years or older in the last year?

[Prompt: Unpaid care may include help with personal needs or household chores. It might be managing a person’s finances, arranging for outside services, or visiting regularly to see how they are doing. The person need not live with the older person.]

May I speak with that person to see if they might be interested in participating? The phone call should only take about five minutes.

Address caregiver:
