Services for adult family members with mental retardation: perceptions of accessibility and satisfaction.

Caregivers' satisfaction with and perceptions of the services received by their adult family member with mental retardation were examined. Most caregivers were satisfied with the services, regardless of the type of services received. Access variables, including the assistance provided in acquiring services, were better predictors of satisfaction than were aspects of the services. Demographic variables did not predict ratings of accessibility or satisfaction.
