Abstract
This paper compares elders living in two types of caregiving households and explores the elder's level of depression in each setting. Results indicate that the level of depression was similar for those residing in a household with a spouse or child/grandchild as caregiver. The results of a multiple regression analysis further show that length of time in residence and noneconomic, contribution to the household mitigate the level of depression for the older care recipient to varying degrees. Practice implications are discussed.
