Patterns of help to disabled elderly widows are described as they vary when caregiving adult daughters work and when they do not. Mothers of the 2 work-status groups received the same total number of hours of help from all sources combined. Employed and nonworking daughters provided equal amounts of help with shopping/transportation, household tasks, managing money/service arrangement, and emotional support. Workers provided less personal care and cooking than nonworkers, with the difference being offset by purchased help.
