Abstract
The Cost of Care Index (CCI) has been developed as a case management tool to assist professionals in family assessments and to identify actual or perceived problem areas of families in the care of elderly relatives. The 20-item CCI has been determined to be reliable and focuses upon five dimensions related to family care of the elderly. The CCI has been used for family screening, intervention, and peer group interaction.
