Abstract
I examine the relationship between formal and informal assistance among a sampleof elder-caregiver dyads living in a community setting in upstate New York. Thedata fail to support concerns that informal helpers withdraw their support whenformal substitutes are available. Rather, formal services were used most frequentlyby more functionally impaired elderly whose caregivers were already providingpersonal care. Elders whose caregivers were employed reported more reliance onformal services, but being employed did not depress the level of informal supportthe caregiver provides.
