AnnotationIt is important to find out which services benefit people with dementia and their carers most, in particular, whether carers gain more support from respite care and short breaks or from other services. The authors review the research evidence to date, and comment on its limitations, given the range of different services covered: day care services; in-home respite services; institutional or overnight respite services; and multi-dimensional carer support.
