Abstract: Family caregivers of older individuals in rehabilitation have unique needs and concerns that should be addressed in rehabilitation and in community-based programs. Their concerns have a direct bearing on their health and on the health and well-being of their care-recipients. In this paper, we review the major problems facing many caregivers of older individuals who may receive rehabilitation services, and we discuss implications from relevant research. We conclude with recommendations for interventions, services and program development.
