A Controlled Study of Respite Service for Caregivers of Alzheimer's Patients
Abstract
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.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
