Caregivers also often become socially isolated as they have to be available around the clock to make sure that the person with dementia is safe. Therefore, it is important for social workers to encourage caregivers to take care of themselves. It is also important to make use of informal and formal services as part of the care plan. Social workers can teach the caregivers communication skills and activities that can be used to continue engagement with patients as their skills deteriorate and dementia progresses.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
