Thes study investigated actual service use by 152 dementia patients and used the Anderson model to examine factors associated with the use of in-home and out-of-home services. On the whole, practical issues tied to patient care were most powerfully related to the use of formal services in patients with relatively advanced dementia. Family caregiver appraisal, coping, and emo tional adjustment were not substantively tied to service use.
