Describes the extent of the informal caregiving unit for older people who are physically or mentally frail living in private households or resident in long-term care institutions using cross-sectional analysis of survey data. A total of 1444 people aged 65 years or more registered with a general practitioner (GP) in four areas in England, and consenting to the study were screened for mental or physical frailty. Qureshi & Walker's hierarchical, decision-making model for selecting informal caregivers was applied to the data and correctly identified over three quarters of the key informal caregivers. This large-scale comprehensive survey of informal care for frail older people supports earlier small-scale localised studies highlighting the key role of spouses and daughters in the provision of informal support.
