Availability and utilization of services by Alzheimer's disease caregivers.
1. Studies show that a high percentage of family caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's disease either do not use support services or are unaware of their availability. 2. Family caregivers in rural areas use proportionately more services than caregivers in urban areas. 3. Nursing will be an integral part in improving the quality of care and living for persons with Alzheimer's disease.
