| Annotation | This article reports the results of a 1998 pilot study involving 26 caregivers that have relatives suffering from some type of dementia. The aim of the study was to determine if an adult day programme that specialises in helping those afflicted by dementia can serve as an effective way of providing respite care to caregivers, reducing reported levels of direct responsibility and care. Findings showed that the adult day programme alone was not found to be a complete form of respite; however, overall caregiver satisfaction was strong and the adult day programme was viewed as a positive way to provide partial respite to caregivers.
