National Survey

A Survey of Person-Centered, Trauma-Informed Care for Older Adults with a History of Trauma and Their Family Caregivers
Thank you for participating in the National Survey on Person-Centered, Trauma-Informed (PCTI) care for older adults with a history of trauma and their family caregivers. This survey is conducted by The Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) Center on Aging and Trauma as part of a grant by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living/Administration on Aging.

The purpose of this survey is to understand the implementation of PCTI care among organizations providing care to older adults and family caregivers. PCTI care is a holistic approach to service provision that infuses knowledge about trauma into organizational programs and policies to promote the health and well-being of clients, staff, and volunteers. Regardless of your level of familiarity with Person-Centered, Trauma-Informed care, we encourage you to take this survey and complete it to the best of your knowledge. As an organization serving older adults and family caregivers, you have key insights into the care of older populations and your responses will help advance and expand the field of aging services.

The survey should take approximately 15 minutes to complete. The findings will be used in program reports and other materials, but your answers will be anonymous and presented in aggregate form. We ask that only one survey is submitted from each organization, so please make every effort to coordinate with your colleagues to reduce duplication. Only organizations in the United States should complete this survey. Please do not put your name or the name of your organization on the survey.

To complete this survey in more than one sitting, please use the ‘save’ button at the bottom of the page and click the link in your email to return to the survey. Note, to use the 'Save' feature you will need to enter your email address and create a new password.

If you have any questions about this survey, please contact Carmel Rabin, Project Manager for Research and Evaluation at the Center on Aging and Trauma (Carmel.Rabin@JewishFederations.org).

Thank you for helping us advance the field of PCTI care!
