Veterans whose family caregivers reported higher emotional burden and depression were more likely to be admitted to nursing homes after three-year follow-ups, according to a September study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.
Publisher's note: Perhaps higher emotional burden and depression among family caregivers of veterans occurs in hospice, too.
