Evaluating the effect of care programs for elderly persons with dementia on caregiver's well-being.

Agnes Gramain1, Laëtitia Malavolti.   

Abstract

This contribution provides an econometric evaluation of the impact of two innovative care programs for elderly persons with dementia (day-care centers and group-living) on the well-being of the primary caregiver of patients. For this evaluation we use data from a survey conducted in six European countries in 1998. The results show that after adjusting for selection bias day-care centers have a positive impact for a specific part of the population. They also reveal a rationing mechanism in the access to group-living.
