This study of adult day care clients (N = 48) in three suburban programs reports on the relationship between client impairments, the age of primary caregivers and the services used by these clients. The results support the low use of services among the multi-impaired aged that has been previously reported. This is true even for the multi-impaired who have been attending adult day care programs for over seventeen months. Providers of formal aging services may benefit from these data when coordinating service plans for the multi-impaired elder who has an intact informal social support system and has not had a life history of mental illness.
这项针对三个郊区项目中的成年日托客户（N = 48）的研究报告了客户损伤、主要照顾者年龄与这些客户所使用服务之间的关系。研究结果支持了此前报道的多重损伤老年人服务利用率低的情况。即便对于那些参加成年日托项目超过十七个月的多重损伤者来说也是如此。在为具有完整非正式社会支持系统且没有精神疾病生活史的多重损伤老年人协调服务计划时，正规老龄服务提供者可能会从这些数据中受益。
