Abstract
The current controversy about respite's value centers on consistent reports of no significant reduction in caregiver strain with respite service use. In this study one explanation for the inability of prior research to document respite's impact is offered. This research demonstrates that respite may well reduce depression, reported health problems and family relationship strain in families caring for stable AD patients and may stabilize caregiver strain in families of declining AD patients.
