The Transition from Family In-Home Care to Institutional Care

This research examines the correlates of institutional placement among families living with and caring for an older relative. Data are provided for 589 families who were part of a larger study of the effects of caregiving on spouse and adult-child caregivers concluded in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1982. The findings suggest that caregivers' attitudes concerning institutional care are at least as important as elders' physical and emotional health and caregivers' stress in determining which elders are placed in a nursing home subsequent to an elder health crisis.
