A model state-level approach to family survival for caregivers of brain- impaired adults

L Friss
Research and Information Programs, Family Survival Project, San Francisco, CA 94108.

This profile of a statewide program to support family caregivers of brain-impaired adults identifies the major needs and problems of these family caregivers and delineates service interventions to meet those needs. Demographic data on the major characteristics of over 3,000 family caregivers and their cognitively impaired patients are reported. A discussion on addressing brain impairment as a broad category of disability needing an array of policies and programs regardless of individual diagnostic categories, is provided.
