Few estimates have been made of the extent to which the needs of caregivers are met. In addition to the inadequate capacity of services, many caregivers lack adequate financial resources, social resources, or other means to access them. Caregivers who provide services to minority or poor elderly may be particularly needy since their care receivers tend to be less healthy and are less likely to use institutional facilities. To address this issue, the authors studied a community sample of 124 caregivers who identified correlates of their perceived unmet caregiver needs and their use of supportive services available for their caregiving. Results indicated that 51.8 percent of women and 67.4 percent of men reported needs for one or more community services that were not met. It was concluded that caregivers who are poor or who required financial assistance are at the highest risk for needing assistance while providing caregiving services. Community services may more effectively target potential needs of caregivers through routine screenings.
