One hundred elderly women were assessed on two occasions, one week apart, on the survey version of CAPE. Although test‐retest correlations were high, the dependency grades of 35 per cent of the sample changed on retesting by one grade, and 2 per cent by two grades, suggesting that the test may be too unstable for clinical purposes.
