After a baseline interview of 642 caregivers of aged Alzheimer's disease victims, half were offered formal respite care. Over 12 months, families with respite care maintained their impaired relative significantly longer in the community (22 days). Although respite was ineffective for caregiver burden and mental health, satisfaction was very high. Although not a strong intervention, respite care can increase caregivers' quality of life.
