Popis:	Multigenerational caregiving is becoming a prevalent means of caring for moderately to severely impaired elders. Handling the stress created in these arrangements may depend on the relationship between the elder and the caregiver. This study examines components of such relationships and highlights caregiving as experienced by the elder receiving care. Findings 'indicate that improved quality of relationship between elder and caregiver is related to a high degree of elder's satisfaction with the arrangement, whereas level of functioning of the elder is not related to degree of satisfaction. However, findings also suggest that elders fear being a burden, hide their troubles and feelings and generally feel no sense of contribution to the household.
