Eighty-eight family caregivers were interviewed concerning their experience with medical care of their demented relatives. Although the majority of caregivers expressed overall satisfaction, they showed higher levels of dissatisfaction than are commonly found in studies of satisfaction with medical care. Greatest dissatisfaction was expressed in regard to receiving insufficient information about dementia; fewest concerns were expressed about inappropriate physician control. Families reported frequently receiving vague diagnoses and insufficient referrals for supportive services.
