Annotation	This paper critically reviews evidence concerning the functions served by centre-based respite programmes in Canada's long-term care system. By examining how and when day programmes are used by family caregivers, their expectations, and the impacts that derive from participation, insights can be gained into ways of optimising the role played by this component of the community's long-term system of care.
