Abstract
A sample of 288 persons admitted to nursing homes was investigated for problems and management of those problems before the decision to use a nursing home was made. Multiple problems were found to have existed, often for years, and close family members were the major caregivers although extended family and friends were also of substantial help. Men were caregivers for almost two-thirds as many persons as were women. Community resources were used relatively rarely.
