Philadelphia Geriatric Center
Philadelphia Geriatric Center A time-budget interview of caregivers regarding 116 highly impaired elder relatives living in their homes revealed a relatively low level of variety in activities, social context, and environment context. A large proportion of the elders' time was spent in passive activities such as rest (34%), viewing television and listening to radio (21 %), and receiving assistancefrom a caregiver (17%).

In-home workers and family caregivers could be trained to provide such enriching services.
