This study examined the predictors of caregiver depression and "adaptation" over time in a sample of 202 family caregivers of cognitively impaired adults. By examining caregiver adaptation (i.e., a caregiver's ability to adjust psychologically to the demands of providing long-term in-home care), we were able to account for initial levels of depression, regression to the mean, and floor and ceiling effects. Results indicated that the strongest predictors of caregiver depression 1 year after baseline were initial levels of depression, worsening of caregiver subjective physical health status and burden, and short-term use of in-home respite assistance. These findings suggest that caregivers who experience deterioration in levels of physical health and burden and who use in-home respite on a short-term or sporadic basis may be especially vulnerable to the chronic stress of providing long-term in-home care.
