How is the TCARE screening scored to determine if my caregiver is eligible for a TCARE assessment and related step three services?

(1) The TCARE screening measures are scored with a number value of one through six for the measure on identity discrepancy or one through five for the remaining measures based upon the caregiver's responses. Ranges for each measure determine whether the measure score is high, medium, or low. One high or three medium scores from the table in this subsection, except for the uplifts measure, will make a caregiver eligible for a TCARE assessment and step three services as described in WAC 388-106-1915 (3)(a)(ii). The following table indicates the score ranges for each measure:
 
High
Medium
Low
Identity discrepancy
13-18
8-12
3-7
Relationship burden
10-18
6-9
3-5
Objective burden
9-12
5-8
2-4
Stress burden
9-12
6-8
2-5
Uplifts
10-18
6-9
3-5
Depression-CESD
14-16
7-13
4-6
(2) The scale used to score the responses within the identity discrepancy, relationship, objective, stress, and uplift measures are:
(a) Strongly disagree = one;
(b) Disagree = two;
(c) Disagree a little = three;
(d) Agree a little = four;
(e) Agree = five; and
(f) Strongly agree = six.
(3) The scale used to score the responses within the depression measures in WAC 388-106-1931 (5)(a), (b), (c), and (d) are:
(a) Rarely or none of the time (less than one day in the last week) = one;
(b) Some or a little of the time (one to two days in the last week) = two;
(c) Occasionally or a moderate amount of time (three to four days in the last week) = three; and
(d) All of the time (five to seven days in the last week) = four.
