Respite services are a key to the successful implementation of the community care reforms. Research by Enid Levin, Joanna Moriarty and Peter Gorbach at the National Institute for Social Work set out to examine the impact of respite services on the lives of carers and those for whom they cared, nearly all of whom had moderate or severe dementia. The study of 287 elderly people and their carers took place over three years, in three parts of England, and spanned services provided by the NHS, local authorities, voluntary organizations and the private sector. Its findings confirm and strengthen the case of support for carers of people with dementia.
