Implications of the presence of informal help for the adequacy of formal home care services are examined in a public program that restricts service authorizations to needs that are not addressed by informal caregivers. Four areas of need were examined: local transportation, shopping, housecleaning, and dressing/bathing. The mixture of formal and informal help varied greatly from one area of need to another. Contrary to expectations, the frequency of informal help tended to be positively associated with the reporting of unmet need. The data suggest that in some areas of need, the reporting of unmet need reflects the view that the demands on informal caregivers are excessive and that additional formal services would provide them with welcome relief.
