The Caregiver Well-Being Scale is discussed as a tool for use in case management with elders and their family caregivers.

(b) Do chronically mentally ill elderly patients differ from older adults without chronic mental illness in giving and receiving expressive and instrumental social supports? Based on a two-factor multi variate analysis of variance, women, with or without diagnosis of chronic mental illness, were more likely than were men to provide emotionally close social contacts with others, as well as to give advice to and receive advice from others. However, there were no differences in giving or receiving instrumental or expressive social supports based on whether or not the respondent was receiving outpatient psychiatric services for a chronic mental illness. In view of this, the possibility that the mentally ill have more to offer in relationships than is generally assumed is discussed.
