Abstract
1. The experience of caring for a family member with dementia in the home is a physical, emotional, and financial strain for the majority of caregivers. 2. The availability of community as well as family supports are variables which will influence how well a caregiver will cope. 3. Though the use of adult day care did not significantly decrease the reported stress for caregivers as a group, some did experience less strain. 4. Caregiver response to adult day care is variable and complex. Gerontological nurses who counsel caregivers should help them be realistic about their expectations for adult day care.
