Abstract
The caregiving wife needs an advocate who is concerned about her well being. The home healthcare nurse can fulfill this role by treating the needs of the wife as well as the dependent husband, advancing community programs to reduce the caregiving burden, and supporting legislation that recognizes that older women cannot be the sole caregivers to their dependent husbands.Keywords
