The Care Planning Assessment Tool (CPAT)

The CPAT is a development of the Revised Elderly Person’s Disability Scale (REPDS). It is useful in both community and residential aged care settings and can be completed by direct care staff with little training. It provides information on problems being experienced with communication, physical activities, self-help, confusion, behaviour, social interaction, psychiatric symptoms and dependency on nursing care.

The CPAT is provided here, free of charge, for use as a paper and pencil assessment in a care planning context. The use of CPAT in any software is expressly forbidden without the permission of the Hammond Care Group who hold the copyright.

The CPAT has been incorporated into a Microsoft Access based application that assists with assessment, monitoring (individual and facility), care plan writing and reporting. This is available from the Hammond Care Group.

Details of the psychometric properties of the CPAT are available from Richard Fleming at rfleming@dementia.com.au
