“…Most studies have focused on caregivers of dependent populations (24). Our results show that the population of caregivers of non-dependent old persons has a profile similar to that of caregivers of dependent old persons (6,19) and persons with disabling illness (11,(25)(26)(27) in terms of socio-demographic characteristics and of level of burden, which also has a negative impact on their health (24)(25)(26)11) (19,(26)(27)(28). Our results also show that the caregiver's burden appears well in advance of the recipient's dependency.…”

“…In France, between 8 and 11 million persons aged 16 years or more regularly help one or more persons in their entourage for health or disability reasons (i.e. nearly one out of six persons in this age group) (6). In 2015, 3 million persons aged 60 and over and living at home regularly received assistance for a health problem or disability (7).…”

“…With advancing age, the massive help provided by spouses (80% when assisted persons live in a couple) decreases in favor of help provided by children: 55% of old persons aged 70 to 74 receive help from their spouse and 32% from their children. From the age of 75, this situation is reversed: 32% receive help from their spouses and 52% from their children (6).…”

“…The first is to receive specific help from another family member (18). The second is to benefit from assistance of formal systems (6). In France, the Caisse d'Assurance Retraite et de Santé Au Travail (CARSAT: national administration for retirement and heath at work) is responsible for pension management and health and safety at work, and provides assistance to vulnerable persons.…”

Background. Informal care provided by family caregivers to old persons is associated with a high risk of burden and poor health status. This study aimed to analyze the impact of Personalized Social Support (PSS) for non-dependent old persons living in the community on caregiver burden, satisfaction, and frailty. Methods. This non-interventional longitudinal study was performed in the southeast of France: old persons asking for PSS (>70 years of age, with no disability and no severe chronic disease, living at home) and their caregivers were included with a 6-month follow-up. Eligible dyads were visited at home by social workers. Caregiver burden was assessed with Mini-Zarit and frailty status with FiND (Frail Non-Disabled).Results. 876 dyads were eligible for PSS. Old persons were 82.2 ± 5.8 years old and 77.6% were women. Most caregivers were women (64.5%). Most caregivers were the children of the old person (61%), the rest were mostly spouses. Nearly 64% of old persons were frail and 38% were highly dependent. Follow-up was conducted for 686 dyads (78.3%). Of these, only 569 had PSS. The PSS was mainly for housework and meal preparation. At the time of follow-up, 53% of the caregivers for whom the old person had PSS had less difficulty helping their old person. Two-thirds (61.5%) of caregivers were fully satisfied with the PSS. Whether or not they had received the PSS, 73% of caregivers had reduced burden at 6 months, only 6% still had a high burden, 17% were less frail, and 18% felt healthier than at the time of inclusion.Conclusions. Our study highlights that non-dependent old person’s caregivers also experience burden. Implementing social support for activities of daily living had a major impact on their burden but not on their level of frailty. This means that the determinants of caregiver frailty are more complex and further studies are needed.
