title: Parents of adults with mental retardation living in-home and out-of-home: caregiving burdens and gratifications.
abstract: Interviews with parents of adult children with mental retardation were conducted to identify differences in caregiver burdens and gratifications, based on in-home and out-of-home placement. Parental responses indicate that caretakers of adult children with mental retardation are worried and feel responsibility for their care regardless of residential placement of the adult child.
