Caregiver Assessment - Nonminor Dependent
All statements below must be answered “Yes” to approve the (prospective) caregiver. When
there is a “No” answer, the worker should assess whether the provision of reasonable
assistance or additional services to the (prospective) caregiver would enable the (prospective)
caregiver to properly respond to the nonminor dependent’s needs, health and safety. If the
worker later reassesses the (prospective) caregiver and determines that conditions supporting
the “No” answer have changed sufficiently to answer “Yes”, approval may be given at that time.
Responses to the following statements have been assessed by the undersigned.
1. The (prospective) caregiver has been provided a summary of State home approval
regulations and is capable, having sufficient physical and mental health, to meet the statutory
and regulatory requirements for care and supervision appropriate to the nonminor dependent.
