Abstract
Caregivers to family and friends are increasingly recognized as essential players in the continued shift of care of dependent populations to the community. Currently, Canadian provincial home care programs have neither a comprehensive policy nor an assessment regarding caregivers' needs. This article describes an assessment tool that takes into account caregivers' reality and conditions and that situates them as essential partners with the formal system and reports on the validation and reliability testing of this tool. Seven sites in Quebec and Nova Scotia involving 40 assessors tested the tool with 168 caregivers. Results suggest that this comprehensive tool enables practitioners to understand caregivers' needs and situations. Focus groups with assessors and interviews with home care administrators revealed that the tool increased worker understanding and awareness of what it means to be a caregiver, ascertained the key caregiver concerns, and identified these needs in rapid succession.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
