As part of a wider study of relatives supporting confused old people at home the authors considered the relevance of the home help service to the supporters' problems and its effectiveness in alleviating them. Although the service was often not received by old people living with others and presenting the most severe problems, it was generally appreciated by the supporters, relevant to their problems and apparently beneficial to their psychological health. Sometimes it apparently prevented institutional admission. Draws implications for the service and stresses the need to evaluate mainstream services as well as innovations in family support.
